Google updates Gboard with support for 16 new language variants, Handwriting Input for 4 others

Gboard adds support for a couple of new languages every few months or so, but with around 7,000 languages globally, it's going to take some time for the trend to end. Google has just added 16 more languages to Gboard, as well as four others for Google Handwriting Input.

Here's the Gboard changelog:

WHAT'S NEW

• More reliable language downloads
• Morse code improvements
• Japanese support for Android TV
• 18 new language varieties, including: Buryat, Lower Sorbian, Cypriot Greek, Gondi, Hakka, Cornish, Mandeali, Siberian Tatar, Shekhawati, Talysh, and Mundari

You might have noticed that Gboard says that 18 languages (or language varieties) are new, but we were only able to find 16 additions to the Google Support list.
