## Description

Type in Yiddish with YIVO diacritics on your iPhone. Based on QWERTY layout.

Yiddish Klal is a QWERTY-based keyboard app for typing in Standard Yiddish (YIVO orthography) on iOS.

FEATURES:
- Full YIVO-standard character set with proper diacritics
- QWERTY layout for easy typing
- Shift OR long-press for alternate characters
- Customizable backspace behavior

EASY TO USE:
The layout follows QWERTY positions familiar to those who regularly type in English. Alternate characters like בֿ and ח can be accessed using Shift or a long-press ("press-and-hold") gesture.

Perfect for students, researchers, writers, and anyone who wants to type in Standard Yiddish on an iPhone.
