I have done some more research.  Searching the United Nations web
site, I found that there are 464 references to Creole.  There are only five
references to Kreyol.  There are zero references to Aiysyen.

The USAID/Haiti page refers to Creole.

My Haitian friend, Jude Augusma, who grew up in rural Haiti, tells me that
the common people say Kreyol.

Perhaps, the terminology should be Creole (Kreyol).

I hope to have some thoughts of the keyboard layout soon.
