Are there any studies demonstrating a benefit of Dvorak over Qwerty for other languages?
The main Dvorak layout has been adapted for other languages: there are German, Spanish, Nordic and other variants with accents and perhaps some letter swap. Anecdotally, some people seem okay with that. Notably, this repo has English, Czech and other locales for Dvorak and according to the author, it's sufficient based on running the numbers for hand alternation and such metrics.

So uncivilized
There are at least three alternatives off the top of my head: CShack, UCW (the website is dead, but the layout is included in Linux distros) or some international layout such as EurKEY (although it lacks combined letters with caron), and then customized versions of Dvorak or Colemak... and yes, I know a couple of people that use Compose.

Why are there no spanish layouts?
I'm not convinced that it matters in practice. If anything, I'd focus on convenient access to special symbols (like ULKL).

- BEAKL – Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout
-
Beakl-HC - No more pinky and ring finger pain!
BEAKL is actually an acronym for Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout. Being yet another attempt to find the most efficient and ergonomic keyboard layout, the development of this experimental layout emphasises the use of our stronger fingers (index, middle and ring finger) to lead the typing rhythm in order to achieve an overall effortless typing experience. The reason for this is that they are faster, more versatile, and less prone to fatigue (exposed through Beakl's foundational effort grid), which allows us typists to achieve high speeds with less effort when compared to layouts that disregard this point.

What is the difference between DVORAK, COLEMAK, and other layouts?
There are many options, some of Carpalx layouts, Beakl, Engram, Halmak and HIEAMTSRN all have vowels on one side, but otherwise have very little in common and kind of take 5 different approaches to layout optimization.

Orthocarpus layout
Interesting. Do you have a KLA (json) profile I could download to test against the likes of BEAKL-15 etc. Other than going for a very cryptic layout like "X1 Ergolinear" (that differentiate between lower case and upper case letter layout - making it very hard to learn), I could not find layout that beats BEAKL-15 on English and programming text. And when I say text, I mean a lot of variety - not just one set of text. I took the avg wins of a lot of text. I also use BEAKL-15 with my Ergodox keyboard layout in KLA.
