Title:
  [OSK] Add Flemish keyboard or provide independent layout option

Status in ubuntu-keyboard:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Flanders, the Northern part of Belgium, we use the Belgian keyboard
  layout (an AZERTY one) but we speak Dutch. No keyboard is suitable for
  us.

  There is a Dutch keyboard, but it has a QWERTY layout, this is correct
  for the Netherlands but not for Belgium. There is a French AZERTY
  keyboard, but spell check doesn't work because we speak Dutch.

  ---

  As a minimum, an option 'Flemish' ('Vlaams') could be added. You can
  use the French layout and the Dutch dictionary, that will be fine.

  OR

  Ideally input language and keyboard could be more independent. Another
  mobile OS lets you fine-tune your keyboard, such as choosing a layout.
  E.g. when I select the Nederlands ('Dutch') keyboard, let me choose
  between QWERTY, AZERTY and DVORAK.

  --------- DESIGN COMMENT -------------------

  +1 from Design to go ahead and implement it (slight preference towards
  option 2). If design support needed please contact mpt
