The most common international English keyboard is QWERTY.2. It is more than 140 years old. Other keyboards include QWERTZ (in Central Europe) and AZERTY (used by most French speakers in Europe). Languages with non-Roman alphabets（字母系統(tǒng)），for example, Arabic, Russian or Japanese, have their own keyboards.
