Introduction
This page provides keyboard layout maps for Indic scripts.
Required packages for using Input method
To use any Indic keyboard layout required packages to be installed are scim, scim-m17n, m17n-lib, m17n-db and m17n-contrib (alternatively uim and uim-m17n can be used instead of scim). Keyboard layouts are stored in *.mim files which are installed from m17n-db and m17n-contrib packages. To know more about scim check the SCIM page .
