Comment on the documentation/README more than anything - I couldn't find anywhere a list of specific languages supported. That's a pretty important data point for any speaker of an African language hoping to use this IME. If the library supports only Amhari and Ge'ez (the only two languages mentioned specifically) it's extremely important to a Wolof or Swahili speaker to know that when evaluating if the IME is in a usable state for them.

  repo for Android keyboard implementation[1] says below, but feels strange this don't seem to be stated anywhere else: ### What african languages (and layouts) are supported ? - Amharic Keyboard - Transliteration - Clafrica Keyboard - Transliteration - Geez Keyboard - Transliteration - Nufi Keyboard (Fe'efe'e) - Transliteration 1: https://github.com/pythonbrad/afrim-keyboard https://github.com/pythonbrad/afrim-keyboard

Isn’t Swahili compatible with ASCII (just like English)? Why would you need a special IME to write it?

  Yes, Swahili is now written using the Latin script.

  Depends on location and time period. There's lots of historical stuff written in a customized Arabic script with unique characters.

I understand your point, we should do a big work at the level of the documentation.
