The Standard Keyboard Explained
There are different types of keyboard layouts manufactured based on the region and language used.
QWERTY: This layout is the most widely used and is named after the first six letters that appear on the top row. This layout is commonly manufactured today because of its popularity. It is so common across the world - even in countries that do not use the Latin-based alphabet for their language - that some people think that it is the only kind of keyboard there is.
AZERTY: This was developed in France as another variation to the QWERTY layout and is considered the standard French keyboard.
DVORAK: This layout was created to reduce finger movement when typing and produce faster typing speeds than QWERTY or AZERTY.
