Even in the variant for international matkets the Wolgos script remains and can be used if the Anarian script is disabled with function 12. The Wolgos keyboard has an emphasis on facilitating coding and numerical applications.

Programming Languages

The Wolgos, known for their technological capabilities, have developed three powerful languages under the auspices of the H1us'h1dwegh Academic Consortium. These languages—Bhreyktskih₁, Krátus, and Léykto—are designed to keep Hergom's computing infrastructure on par with competing global powers. Faced with technological sanctions, Hergom has relied not only on its own innovations but also on strategic espionage to maintain its edge in computing and programming.

These languages aim to position Hergom as an attractive option for lower-income markets by offering versatile and efficient programming solutions. Each language addresses different aspects of computing, from web development to high-performance systems and rapid application development, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the Wolgos' technological needs. With a rapidly growing foreign market for their computing products, Hergom hopes to build a self-sustaining development environment that will be immune to the effects of future sanctions.
