;;; Input method for Yiddish based on the traditional typewriter layout.
;;; Unlike some other older methods, this method takes into consideration
;;; frequency of letters and ligatures. For the sake of compatibility
;;; with some software, standard Yiddish ligatures are provided as 
;;; character combinations and not as single Unicode characters.
