I'm running KDE Plasma 5 on Arch Linux. In System Settings | Keyboard | Add Layout I have an Indian layout which includes variants for Hindi and Punjabi and many others. There are two Punjabi variants and 3 Hindi variants. I did not install any extra packages. In fact, I did not even install the full KDE Plasma group from the Arch repositories. Here is the list of packages I installed, in case it helps:
pacman -S plasma-workspace plasma-desktop systemsettings kwin kdelibs kdebase-kdialog kde-gtk-config systemd-kcm kdesu krename kate kwrite retext kdegraphics-okular xdg-utils plasma-nm drkonqi kdeplasma-addons kscreen ksshaskpass ksysguard kwallet-pam user-manager firefox kompare kdiff3 gtk3 gimp gimp-ufraw xsane xsane-gimp gwenview qt5-imageformats kimageformats kcharselect kcolorchooser kdebase-keditbookmarks dolphin dolphin-plugins kdeutils-kdf ark spectacle pulseaudio plasma-pa kdemultimedia-kmix pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrol paprefs parted gptfdisk libdvdcss kwalletmanager kio-extras breeze-kde4 konsole kdebase-lib coin-or-mp poppler-glib openjpeg2 unrar gnupg kdeutils-kgpg exfat-utils gnome-themes-standard xclip print-manager

Ever since I upgraded from KDE4 to Plasma, the keyboard layouts for indian languages have been missing when I try to add them. I know this was an issue before with KDE4, and I had to update my xkb installation - some versions had these language keyboards removed from xkb. I still have an xkb version installed that includes these languages, but they are missing from Plasma's list of keyboard layouts.I have no idea what needs to be changed, or added, to restore these layouts. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how to get them back? Does, for instance, kde have a bundled copy of xkb somewhere that needs updating?If it helps, my operating system is FreeBSD, and I am using the 'KDE5' ports.
