The ibus-m17n language provides a wide variety of input methods. Here is an extensive list of all of the languages it covers:
| Uzbek | Urdu | Ukrainian | Uighur | Tibetan | Thai | Telugu | Tamil | Swedish | Slovak |
| Sinhala | Sindhi | Siksika | Serbian | Sanskrit | Russian | Pushto | Persian | Panjabi | Oriya |
| Ojibwa | Nepali | Naskapi | Marathi | Malayalam | Maithili | Lao | Central Khmer | Kazakh | Kashmiri |

| French | Esperanto | Dhivehi | Danish | Czech | Croatian | Cree | Chinese | Burmese | Belarusian |

Because of this it is preferred for installing for languages that are not available by default in IBus, XKB or don't have a separate plugin that provides better functionality.
Installation
To install it, run:
root # emerge ibus-m17n
then restart ibus:
user $ ibus restart
then head to the ibus-setup GUI, open the Input Method tab, click on the Add button and search for the input method you want to add.
