Urdu Keyboard Layout:

Normally our Windows operating system contains an Urdu keyboard layout, but it has a problem, most of people in Pakistan are using the phonetic keyboard layout which means "A" key is for "ALIF" and "B" key is for "BAY" etc. but Windows has a different default layout, for example here "A" key is for "MEEM" and "B" key is for "SHEEN" etc. To resolve this problem a new phonetic Urdu keyboard has been developed. This "Urdu Keyboard" works on all 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
