Studying Mandarin? Enable a Slovak keyboard on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It will allow you to write beautiful
pinyin without numbers (useful for when you're creating flashcards on the go, for example), since Slovak contains all the little diacritics. No more "wô" and "ni3"! (Ironically, I'm writing this on my compurter, so I have no convenient way of giving you an example.) Yes, I went through most of the international keyboards on my phone to find this out. Thought I'd save others the trouble. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Nice find. I have owned an ipod touch for 2 years now and only recently discovered that I could access the accented vowels by "holding down" the vowel when typing. Before that I was at my wits' end on how to properly enter Spanish text. With only English, Spanish, and Italian enabled, that pesky twiddle for representing the 3rd tone wasn't available for e, o, or u. But like you said, adding the Slovak keyboard did the trick!
