Yet Another Urdu Keyboard

A jQuery plugin for typing in Urdu using an English keyboard.

There are too many controls out there which convert English to Urdu.
Some of them are phonetic, some not.
Some are open-source, some not.
Some have keys that you can press, some don't.
Some work on mobile phones, some don't.
I couldn't find one with all the features so I made one.

This is a phonetic open-source mobile enabled jQuery plugin which enables typing in Urdu using an English keyboard.

Instructions to use

Download/clone this repository and get yauk.min.js or yauk.js
Place it in your assets and include it with<script src="path/to/yauk.min.js"></script> after including jQuery
Set Urdu input for the input field or textarea with an id e.g.
```
 $('#q').setUrduInput();
```
By default numerals are English. For urdu, pass urduNumerals: true in options
```
 $('#q').setUrduInput({urduNumerals: true});
```
