There is a little flag icon on the top right of your menu bar. It is the flag of the language you are using. Click on it and select a new language. Your keyboard will now be mapped to that language.

I think Akhra is saying MacOS doesn’t support Abkhazian out
of the box for him to select it - so he needs to actually make a
keyboard for it. I used to use ResEdit for that with great success,
but it doesn’t work on OSX. :-(

BTW, is Tibetan (script and keyboard) supported on OSX?
If not, is there a good relatively inexpensive font that does?

See this wonderful site [link].
Mostly all information you need to produce Unicode keyboard layout for your language is there.
Big thanks goes to Mr. Alan Wood... :-)
I suggest using Google to find information about your language usage on computers before. May be it’s already done for OS X ...

From this page:
“Ukelele provides a graphical interface for creating or modifying Unicode keyboard layout files for Mac OS X 10.2 onwards. It allows you to start from scratch, or to modify an existing keyboard. Characters can be dragged from the Character Palette, or from other programs that can display the characters that you want to use.”

WOW!!!

Yep. To infinity, and beyond! (Buzz Lightyear) ;^)

Thank, Miguel. Thanks all.
Ukelele is realy what I need.
Its true, abkhazian language have no input in or . So if you make a font using proper unicode places for national characters you need to create special keyboard layout until Microsoft and Apple dont include it oficialy.
Thanks again.

I am a Mac novice, forgive my terminology ignorance. I have created a custom keyboard layout for Hungarian using Ukelele. It works great. The question is: How to create a custom flag to show up when this keyboard layout is activated? The reason being that I also need to make a custom Ukrainian layout and want to be able to distinguish them easily (Custom, because I just don’t like and am not used to the default layouts).
