🇧🇬 Bulgaria
Most common layout confirmed: Phonetic Traditional
Most Common: Phonetic Traditional layout – maps Cyrillic letters to Latin QWERTY keys based on pronunciation (e.g. A → А, S → С). Most widely used due to the ease for QWERTY users.

🇭🇷 Croatia
Main Layout: Croatian (Latin) – Croatia uses a QWERTZ-based Latin keyboard layout. It is effectively identical to the layouts used in Bosnia, Slovenia, and the Latin-alphabet option in Serbia. This layout includes special diacritic characters (Č, Ć, Ž, Š, and Đ) used in Croatian.
(Alternate layouts are not distinct in Croatia – the Croatian layout is the standard across the region. Users who need a different setup (e.g. for programming) may add an English (US) layout, but the Croatian QWERTZ remains the default.)
🇬🇷 Greece
Most common layout confirmed: Greek alphabet keyboard layout
Main Layout: Greek – Greece uses its own Greek alphabet keyboard layout. This is an ISO-standard layout with keys labeled in the Greek script. It places Greek letters in roughly the same format as Latin QWERTY, but adapted to the Greek alphabet (e.g. Ξ on the key for Q, Ψ on W, etc.). This Greek layout is standard on computers sold in Greece.

🇪🇪 Estonia
Main Layout: Estonian – Estonia’s keyboards use a QWERTY-based layout adapted for the Estonian language. The Estonian layout adds letters such as Õ, Ä, Ö, Ü, which are needed for Estonian. It follows the ISO physical key arrangement (like other European keyboards) and uses AltGr for additional symbols. This layout is standard in Estonia (available in all major operating systems)

🇫🇷 France
Most common layout confirmed: French AZERTY
Main Layout: French AZERTY – France’s standard layout is AZERTY, named after the first keys on the top row (A Z E R T Y instead of Q W E R T Y). This layout is specifically designed for French: it places accented letters like é and à, and has a dedicated key for ç, etc. The French AZERTY layout is used not only in France but also in several other Francophone regions. (It’s also common in parts of Luxembourg and Belgium, with minor variations.)
Other Common Layout: BÉPO (French Dvorak) – An alternative ergonomic layout for French, designed for efficiency. BÉPO places letters differently (it’s not QWERTY/AZERTY-based) and is optimized for French letter frequency. It remains a niche layout used by enthusiasts; the AZERTY layout is far more widespread. (Additionally, France in 2019 adopted a new improved AZERTY standard, addressing some symbol placement issues, but this is essentially a refinement of the main AZERTY and is backward-compatible

🇱🇻 Latvia
Most common layout confirmed: International English QWERTY
Main Layout: International English QWERTY – Latvia’s standard keyboard is a QWERTY-based layout with special characters for Latvian, but accessed only using the AltGr key. The special characters (such as ā, ē, ī, ū, č, š, ž, ņ, ģ, ļ) are normally not visible on the physical keyboard.

🇱🇹 Lithuania
Most common layout confirmed: Lithuanian (Numeric)
The most relevant layout is Lithuanian Numeric, a QWERTY-based layout where Lithuanian letters are accessible via AltGr or Shift. Although there’s also a Baltic version, both layouts replace the number row, so most users prefer Numeric for its better balance of accessibility. Since laptops with Lithuanian-printed keyboards are hard to find, many people use English QWERTY hardware and switch layouts in software.
🇱🇺 Luxembourg
Most common layout confirmed: Swiss-French (QWERTZ)
Main Layout: Swiss-French (QWERTZ) – In multilingual Luxembourg, the most commonly used physical keyboard is the Swiss layout, which is a QWERTZ layout capable of typing in French, German, and Luxembourgish characters. This layout (often called Swiss French/German) has all the French accented letters and German Umlauts, making it a practical default. According to local sources, the Swiss QWERTZ keyboard is “by far the most common” in Luxembourg (it’s the default in schools and government).
Other Common Layouts: Standard French AZERTY keyboards are also sold and used in Luxembourg, especially by those who predominantly type in French. Likewise, the standard German QWERTZ layout can be found among some users. In practice, many Luxembourgers avoid pure AZERTY because it’s less convenient for multilingual use; instead the Swiss QWERTZ (which accommodates French accents while remaining a QWERTZ for German) is preferred. (Enthusiast users or programmers might additionally use an English QWERTY layout, but this is not common for everyday use.)

🇵🇱 Poland
Most common layout confirmed: Polish Programmers’ (QWERTY)
Main Layout: Polish Programmers’ (QWERTY) – The overwhelmingly common layout in Poland is the so-called Polish Programmers’ keyboard, which is a QWERTY layout identical to the US-International layout. In this layout, Polish characters (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) are typed using AltGr combinations, and the base keys are the same as a standard QWERTY. This has become the standard because it’s convenient for programming and for typing both English and Polish. Most keyboards sold in Poland have this QWERTY layout printed.
Other Layout: Polish 214 (QWERTZ) – Historically, the Polish “typewriter” layout (known as Polish 214) was used, especially in the 20th century. It’s a QWERTZ-based layout that places Polish characters directly on letter keys (without AltGr) and had a different arrangement for punctuation. This layout was common in the era of Polish typewriters and early computers, but it is now largely obsolete. It was officially used in the 80s/90s, but today very few people use it; the vast majority have transitioned to the Polish Programmers’ (QWERTY) layout.

🇸🇰 Slovakia
Main Layout: Slovak (QWERTZ) – Slovakia uses a QWERTZ keyboard layout for the Slovak language. This layout is very similar to the Czech keyboard layout, reflecting the similarities between the two languages. It includes keys for Slovak’s special letters Ľ, Š, Č, Ď, Ť, Ň, Á, Ä, Ž, Ô and so on. Like Czech (and many Central European layouts), the number row requires Shift for numbers (the unshifted positions are used for characters like + ľ š č ť ž ý á í é etc., in line with local orthography). The Slovak layout is standard on computers in Slovakia.
Other Layouts: There aren’t multiple official layouts for Slovak; the QWERTZ layout is the sole standard. Some Slovak users who frequently type in English or programming may toggle to an English layout for convenience, but that is not specific to Slovakia. (Additionally, because Slovak and Czech are mutually intelligible, the two languages are usually combined in one keyboard layout — each language has a couple of unique characters).

🇸🇮 Slovenia
Main Layout: Slovenian (QWERTZ) – Slovenia’s keyboard layout is identical to the Croatian (and Bosnian/Serbian Latin) layout. It is a QWERTZ Latin layout with the special characters needed for Slovene: Č, Š, Ž (these are printed on the keys, usually on the right side of the keyboard). The layout is sometimes called “Slovene keyboard” but technically it doesn’t differ from the standard layout used across the former Yugoslav Latin-alphabet countries. This is the default and virtually only layout in use for Slovenian text input.
(As with Croatia, users who need a different layout for specific purposes may add an English or other layout. But in terms of common national layouts, Slovene QWERTZ is the one used.)

🇪🇸 Spain
Main Layout: Spanish (Spain) QWERTY – Spain uses its own variant of QWERTY, often called the Spanish ISO layout. This layout is characterized by the presence of the ñ key (to the right of L) and dedicated keys for ¡ and ¿ punctuation marks used in Spanish. It’s an ISO keyboard (with a tall Enter key and an extra key next to the left Shift) and places accent characters and Ç in positions convenient for Spanish. The Spanish layout is official in Spain and used by the vast majority of Spanish computer users. (Notably, the Ç key is included primarily for Catalan and other co-official languages in Spain that use that character.)
