Thai Kedmanee keyboard layout


The Thai Kedmanee keyboard layout is the standard keyboard layout for typing the Thai language. It originated from the Thai typewriters introduced in the 1920s to replace older seven-row designs, and was simply known as the traditional layout until the 1970s, when it was named after its putative designer Suwanprasert Ketmanee in order to distinguish it from the new alternative Pattachote layout. The Kedmanee layout was codified as Thai Industrial Standard 820-2531 in 1988, with an update in 1995, and is used as the default Thai input method on most computer systems.
