** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 20.4.1 LTS
  
  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
  (done)
  
  On ubuntu, proper keyboard layouts not available for many languages. Below few examples
  - Chinese (Available layouts: Chinese, Hanyu Pinyin(altgr)
  - Sinhala (Available layouts: US, with sinhala letters, Sinhala (phonetic)
  and many other languages
  
  According above two examples, it's better to not add above mentioned
  layouts because no useful at all.
  
  See the windows 10, it has exact proper keyboard layouts for nearly all
  popular languages. Review them and implement the same for ubuntu
  
+ Furthermore, there're huge amount of keyboard layouts available with
+ english characters for many languages.(eg: japanese, thai and more) it's
+ better remove them and basically duplicate with english keyboard layouts
+ (or you may able to merge into english keyboards list if necessary)
