I'm looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I've found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

Any of them have good support for foldables? (I.e. Full keyboard on cover screen, thumb keyboard on main screen)

I personally use FlorisBoard on Graphine OS and I'm quite happy with it. Been using it for over a month now, it did take a couple days to get used to it.

It's a long shot, but does anyone know if CJK languages (not romanizations) are supported in any of these?

Try https://github.com/osfans/trime. It has multiple input schemas (i.e. pinyin, zhuyin, cangjie, etc.) to choose from, and they are great for typing Chinese. Admittedly it only supports the C in CJK, but it is absolutely worth a try if you don't need Japanese or Korean.

Try Thumb-Key. It's a keyboard made by Lemmy's main developer. It uses a rather exotic layout, but once you get used to it, it is so much better than qwerty.

Oh wow, that is different.

I use OpenBoard. It's good, but my only problem is the lack of images being copied to the clipboard unlike my default keyboard.
