Interesting to compare it to my preferred keyboard layout, BÉPO [0][1].

In Halmak, the vowels are clustered around the right hand rather than the left. Like BÉPO, the punctuation is reachable with index fingers. There is some difference with the home row consonants, but otherwise this looks like an interesting layout.

Although BÉPO is a French layout, I’ve found it works well for English – despite giving space to accented characters that are not often used in English.
