AZERTY Layout

AZERTY Layout

AZERTY layout is used in France and Belgium. It differs from QWERTY, mostly by swapping

• A ↔ Q
• Z ↔ W
• M ↔ ,

AZERTY layout is the worst. the key swaps does not make it more efficient for French.

Just to notice : all words in French with a Z have a A or a E next to the Z. Moreover, you can't say “Also consider the swapping of Z (0.136%) and W (0.114%). Their frequency of use is almost the same”. It's not true at all. Z is at the end of almost half of the french verbs when they are used with the “you” subject.
