I also want it to be added. It's main phonemizer (ESpeak NG) already has support for Hindostani (Hindi/Urdu).

Great! Is there any way we can add it ourselves?

Do you know of any audio datasets in those languages?

Will this dataset for hindi works?

Hi, @eelalzep Yes I think this can work but will require a lot of preprocessing, Is there any progress made on adding Hindi/Urdu to Piper? @synesthesiam how large the dataset should be?
