Which keyboard is this?

I got my hands on a Mid-2010 white Unibody MacBook with a very peculiar keyboard layout:

keyboard


Two keys on the second row have been replaced (3 and ~) and they might have different labels than the original keys.

I have compared this keyboard with all the images on sites where you can identify your keyboard layout, but I cannot find this keyboard.

Please help.

Thought it was French, but I guess not. Maybe it's one of the other layouts shown here:

HTH.

Isn't it European Portuguese? Feb 12, 2024

I have installed a Portuguese layout to be able to stick any accent to any vowel, and the picture looks familiar to me

Portuguese or Spanish Feb 12, 2024

Now that you indicate the diacritic (accent)... I would say it's a keyboard for typing in Portuguese or Spanish because of the tilde "~".
Or maybe it's a new keyboard that allows you to type in various languages (Romance languages?) with the Latin alphabet. Is it?

I'm curious too Feb 12, 2024

Now I'm curious too! The layout of all number and symbol keys seems BE/FR, but those should be AZERTY instead of QWERTY.

There is not such an accent for the u (ú) in Italian, only this one (ù) also no tilde in Italian and no accent over the u in French, so not French.

Could be a new keyboard allowing to type in various Romance languages. Perhaps.

Not Spanish Feb 13, 2024

It has keys with diacritics over certain vowels, but in Spanish every vowel needs to have the capability of being accented (á, é, í, ó, ú). It doesn't have ¿ or ¡ to go at the beginning of questions or exclamations.
