We are implementing a new Oracle instance with the intention to accomodate some 16 countries. I am looking for a resource that lists character sets and supported languages. Especially multi byte character sets which may accomodate many of the languages.

RFCs are one of the sources you can use. Just run a search for character set on rfc index and you'll get a list of notes/standards for many common encodings. For details about multibyte sets, i suggest looking at unicode.org. You'll find references to most of the information you need there.
