Do you see the possibility of adding eastern and southeastern languages anytime at all? What special needs would that entail?

Hi @bendemonium. Epitran already supports tonal languages (including Vietnamese, major Sinitic languages, and Thai).

Just make sure to set tones=True when initializing the Epitran class.
