Some of the languages supported include:

Afrikaans Galician Saami (Inari, North, South)
Albanian (Arbëreshë, Arvanitika, Gheg, Tosk) German Serbian (Latin script)
Balearic Hungarian Slovak
Basque Icelandic Slovenian
Breton Inuktitut Sorbian (Lower, Upper)
Catalan Italian Spanish
Croatian Kashubian Swedish
Czech Ladin Tagalog
Danish Latvian Turkish
Dutch Lithuanian Valencian
Esperanto Maltese Vlaams
Estonian Norwegian Walloon
Faroese Nynorsk Welsh
Finnish Polish Zulu
French Portuguese
Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) Romansch

Fonts

All of the characters accessible in this keyboard are included in the font Tahoma. Most of the letters are also available in Times New Roman and Arial and other fonts included with Windows, as well as many other fonts. Some of the rarer letters (such as ḃ) will typically only be available in specialty fonts.
