If I do something like:

(set-language-info-alist
 "Kharoshthi" '((charset unicode)
       (coding-system utf-8)
       (coding-priority utf-8)
       (input-method . "kharoshthi")
                (sample-text . "Kharoṣṭhī (𐨑𐨪𐨆𐨛𐨁) 𐨣𐨨𐨲𐨪𐨆
𐨐𐨪𐨅𐨨𐨁")
       (documentation . "\
Language environment for Gāndhārī, Sanskrit, and other languages
using the Kharoṣṭhī script."))
 '("Misc" "Indian"))

Then compile and open emacs -Q
Now opening Options>Multilingual Environment>Set Language Environment>Indian
It only has the Kharoshthi entry
Options>Multilingual Environment>Set Language Environment>Misc now also has
an Indian submenu with only Kharoshthi entry.
