Hello,

Is there a guide for adding new language support to flite?

The easiest way to do it as a "grapheme" voice, which fairly well for language with a good relationship of the written form to the spoken form (i.e. not like English and Chinese).

http://www.festvox.org/bsv/c3485.html

Flite supports this type of voice directly, but there isn't any "front end" there, we are working on that (adding numbers and symbols, without adding C code).

But if you are wanting better support, you are going to have to clone the cmu_indic_lex and cmu_indic_lang) which there isn't documentation for.
