Yes, but the source in
/gnu/store/wsykijz9a1p7gx3z8hlmn58v5f5bswp7-xkeyboard-config-2.29/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
looks like this:

// If you want non-latin layouts implicitly include the en_US layout
// uncomment lines below
//! $nonlatin = am ara ben bd bg bt by cs deva ge gh gr guj guru il \
//              in ir iku jp kan kh kr la lao lk mk mm mn mv mal olck \
//              ori pk ru scc sy syr tel th tj tam ua uz

I am not sure if parsing that (and filtering out "kr") is worth it.

Regards,
Florian
