A word in Dzongkha can consist of a single syllable \u0f62\u0f92\u0fb1\u0f74 (property) or multiple syllables \u0f66\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa8\u0f74\u0f42\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa4\u0f74\u0f56\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa4\u0f74\u0f56\u0f66\u0f54 (cloudy) (Chungku et al., 2011). Typing a single-syllable word like \u0f62\u0f92\u0fb1\u0f74 requires six keypresses, while a more complex multi-syllabic word such as \u0f66\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa8\u0f74\u0f42\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa4\u0f74\u0f56\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f66\u0fa4\u0f74\u0f56\u0f66\u0f54 demands 22 keypresses. Similarly, most Dzongkha words require numerous keystrokes, making digital communication inefficient and tedious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1779600762\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1779600762\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-7974663 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7974663\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8f07cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8f07cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Royal University of Bhutan (RUB) is involved in the Research Endowment Fund (REF), which aims to promote systematic investigation of issues relevant to Bhutanese society.
