Afrim is an input method designed to protect the native language of various local dialects and is a universal phonetic-based input method platform.

From the beginning, AFRIM was written as a remake of Clafrica IME, and named clafrica.

Then, we created an input method library with some improvements inspired from RIME. Later, it supports Amharic, Geez and other african phonetic input method. We renamed it to Afrim Input Method Engine.

Inspired from librime, we want AFRIM aka Afrim Input Method Engine, not only as an IME, but also as a tool/library to implement IME no matter the target language.
