Dear Sir / Ma'am, I'm Samu Tudu from Jharkhand, India. I have been using Google Input Tools to write in Hindi since 2017. Since then I love this very much. I am a contributor to the Santali (Ol Chiki) Translation community of Google Crowdsource, Telegram & MX Player. I have been using another Santali (Ol Chiki) typing tool to write in Santali for the last 3 years. There are many languages available in Google Input Tools, except Santali (Ol Chiki). Kindly add Santali (Ol Chiki) keyboard in Google Input Tools. So that everyone can write in Santali (Ol Chiki) by using Google Input Tools. For better understanding, you can take reference from the link given below. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/sat-Sarjom_baha Regards, Samu Tudu
