Only recently have I started working on the Mac OS X and was appalled, yet unsurprised, at its lack of resources for Indic language inputs other than the devanagari based ones. Tamil, as usual, has enough clout to have not one but two keymaps that ship in the box. Telugu has none. Neither does Urdu.

As I was groping around the net for something to type a fancy status message on Adium, I found this keyboard layout creator called Ukelele (bless the putative souls of those good ole Christians and the fortuitous philanthropy which their misled faith exacts of them).

I'm sharing a rudimentary Telugu INSCRIPT keyboard I created as a result of a half-an-hour's play on the Ukelele in the hope that it might save someone else 30 mins of their time. I have no pretensions of it being a perfect keyboard. Just try it and share it if you like it. Else just junk it: don't bitch. :)
