Menksoft Mongolian IME is a IME for typing Mongolian writing systems such as:

Mongolian script

Uyghur style Mongolian script (Proto-Mongolian script, Mongolian written in Old Uyghur alphabet by Tatar-Tonga)

Function

The Menksoft IMEs make use of Private Use Areas (PUA) of Unicode and the Chinese GB 18030 code. That form the so-called Menksoft Mongolian code (Chinese: 蒙科立蒙古文编码).

With the influence of Chinese input methods built-in whole sentence input pattern, the focus of Menksoft Mongolian IME is not placed on a Mongolian keyboard layout, but on phoneme pattern input methods, as they are more commonly used for Chinese language text.

For the standard Unicode keyboard layout of Menksoft, see Menksoft Mongolian Phoneme Input Methods.
For the word pattern IME of Menksoft, see Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method

Use

Unicode was late to provide adequate support for the Mongolian script, where the fist and as of 2009 only functional implementation is shipped with Windows Vista. This resulted in some popularity for the Menksoft IMEs in inner Mongolia, where even the local government web sites uses them.^{[Ref 1]}^{[Ref 2]}^{[Ref 3]}

Interface

English

There is an English interface of Menksoft Mongolian IME, but Menksoft did not build an English installation program. So western users must bear the Chinese installation programs (maybe even mojibake). And after that they need to set it to English interface through the language bar.

 ==Interface==
 ===English===
 There is an English interface of Menksoft Mongolian IME, but Menksoft did not build an English installation program. So western users must bear the Chinese installation programs (maybe even [[mojibake]]). And after that they need to set it to English interface through the [[language bar]].
-==Comparasion with Microsoft Mongolian script Keyboard==
-With the influence of [[Chinese input methods for computers|Chinese input methods]] built-in [[whole sentence input]] pattern, Menksoft does not make the Mongolian [[keyboard layout]] as the major product, instead, the major product is a halfly [[word input]] pattern [[input method]] (for the totally [[word input]] pattern [[input method]], see [[Menksoft#Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method|Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method]]). The input method is built on a keyboard layout but also with a ZhiNeng XuanCi function.
