Ubuntu 12.04 supports Kashmiri and Sindhi locales (requires language-pack-sd-base and language-pack-sd-base packages).
$ locale -a
...
ks_IN
ks_IN@devanagari
ks_IN.utf8
ks_IN.utf8@devanagari
...
sd_IN
sd_IN@devanagari
sd_IN.utf8
sd_IN.utf8@devanagari
...
Current Python doesn't support all of these locales:

After applying the patch Python supports all ks_IN and sd_IN locales.
