A keyboard existing for a language is not the same as the language being fully typeable -- one language may have several Keyman keyboards of varying completeness, and 'Keyboards' counts how many list this language, not a completeness score.
Some keyboards (e.g. multi-script or pan-regional layouts) list dozens to hundreds of languages at once; 'Keyboards' includes those, so a nonzero count does not mean a keyboard was built specifically for this language. 'Dedicated keyboards' is the narrower, more specific figure: keyboards that list this language and no other.
'Downloads' sums the all-time download counter across every keyboard that lists this language, including multi-language keyboards -- it is not downloads exclusive to this language.
