Bug description:
Tamil 99 keyboard layout which is the default keyboard layout prescribed by
the Indian State of Tamil Nadu is not present. Selecting Tamil layout selects
the Tamil Inscript layout which is prescribed by the Government of India.
However, considering that Tamil is used only in the state of Tamil Nadu and
that most keyboards are manufactured with Tamil 99, the layout by the Tamil
Nadu government is the only one sold currently (usually by a company called
TVS-e). This can be verified by Googling for Tamil+English bilingual keyboards.
The current Inscript layout is useless for actual users and the lack of Tamil
99 layout forces people to switch to Google Input tools.
I have observed this on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
