So basically I can use my english qwerty keyboard to enter assamese characters? That's great. So I just have to install ibus and then I can write in Assamese in libreoffice writer?
There are multiple ways to achieve the same thing. It all boil downs to how to inform X that what keyboard layout you are using.
I regularly type मराठी(marathi) in all my programs from KDE and do not need any special installation.
Just go to system settings -> input devices -> keyboard layout -> configure layout and add the desired layout. Thats all.
I just checked it but asamese is not listed in there. Closest one is bengali.
Even in indian layout, there is no asamese variant.
I think this is why: "The present standard is identical to the Bengali script except for two letters." From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_script Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Multilingual_support_(Indic)#Check_for_exi... Where Bengali and Assamese are in the same box. -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10
