Ok, I will add three input methods, two from the internet and another one close to what I sent earlier. > If you intend to work on these other scripts soon, we could start a > new file for languages in Pakistan.

I don't speak them but there are keyboard available on-line so I can copy them.

Thanks, I will experiment, change the file to pakistan.el and send the updated patch in a week or so. Another question: will the input methods be available in 29.2 if added in time or in Emacs 30? Thanks a lot for help, Rahguzar
