Okay, I might be wrong about the origin of Cherry, the page gave a link to
"Further information on the Cherry keyboard range can be found at the Cherry website."
an this cherry website is german...
(wikipedia gives the solution to this: it's an american company owned by a german company)

Exactly, and the picture of the klingon keyboard shows the layout as QWERTZ, since the letter Y is where you expected it..
To complete this discussion, this is the layout of this klingon keyboard:
Q w e r t (gh) u I o p
a S D ng gh H j (e) l
y ch v (ch) b n m
The (gh) in the first row fills the letter Z
The (e) in the second row fills the letter K
(this should have been lower case {q})
The (ch) in the third row fills the letter X
this should have been {tlh}, and they messed up the correct order. Or is this a US layout?
Quvar.
