Most of the keyboard layouts - alternative to QWERTY - are optimized for English. (QWERTY itself is not optimized for any human language in existence). It would be very interesting to see how well they work for other languages. Or to try developing a "compromise" layout, optimized for two (or more) different langauges at once and see whether it is at all possible to gain a significant advantage over QWERTY in those several languages at once...
