Popularizing the use of the adyghe language in informatics and internet

The main aim of this study is to investigate what needs to be done in informatics and internet field in order to ensure that Adyghe (Circassian) language, which is described as "vulnerable" in today's atlas of the world's languages in danger, be revitalized. Today, the Adyghe language, which is not actively used in the field of informatics and especially on the internet, is seen as unfunctional by the new generation of Adyghe people, and as a result, they tend to learn and use alternative languages instead of this language. In this study, the use and existence level of Adyghe language in the current computer software and various internet sites were investigated. Qualitative research methods were used, and the data were obtained by examining various computer programs and internet sites. In addition, using a questionnaire, the interest of Adygea people in Adyghe language was researched, and the survey results have been related to findings of research. Most significantly, the problems of typing in Adyghe language on computers were noticed. A solution was sought for the difficulties brought by not having a suitable keyboard model for writing in this language. These difficulties are thought to have contributed to the Adyghe language being seen as unfunctional in daily life. For this reason, a keyboard software has been prepared which will make it easier to write Adyghe on computers.
