Hello.
I am submitting a proposal to include a keyboard for standardised orthography for Sanna/Cypriot Maronite Arabic (ISO 639-3: acy) in the standard distribution of XKB.
I am attaching a working implementation that can serve as the basis. I distribute that as an installable package here: https://software.tarxjf.info/cma-keyboard/
An explanation of the design choices can be found here: http://software.tarxjf.info/cma-keyboard/a/a-gnulinux-xkb-layout-for-cypriot-maronite-arabic-design.html
This system is in use by educators and learners involved in the revitalisation effort for this endangered language, and its inclusion will make free-opensource operating systems which use XKB to be the first to support their language out of the box.
Me, and Dr Armostis (a linguist involved in the revitalisation effort), can work with you and provide any information and modifications you need to accept this into upstream.
