MultiLing O is a custom keyboard app for Android. You can use it to input Toaq on an Android device. This app can be installed here.

MultiLing comes with a selection of diacritics out of the box. To use them, first type the desired letter, then hold-tap the key that says ,/AltGr. An alternate screen should appear; without lifting your finger, slide it to the desired choice of diacritic. However, this won’t get you typing full-featured Toaq Delta right away – luckily for us, Multiling supports custom layouts. To install these:

  1. Choose a layout you like, hold-tap and then drag to make a selection starting from OK_Layout_Begin and ending on OK_Layout_End, then click Copy.
  2. With the Multiling keyboard open: hold the spacebar, then drag your finger over to a button named Layouts in the top right that should just have appeared. (Optionally: first slide to Languages > Other > X language 1. This disables word prediction and lets you switch between English and Toaq by swiping the spacebar leftward.)
  3. Select [+DIY] from the pop-up list, then Paste, then OK.

The following layouts are available:

Mıao's layout

kuhı's mobile-optimized layout

A fourth-or-so iteration of a layout originally made by uakci. Cool symbols in the shift layer; fewer keys means less fat finger fumbling. Some keys are moved out of the way or (in the case of v, w, y) folded into the ꝡ key; the underdot key stands alone on the right edge of the middle row.
