Gujarati is live. More of India is next.

Speaker counts are first-language speakers from the 2011 Census of India; “also speak Hindi” is Hindi reported as a second language. These are the most recent official figures — the next census is due in 2027.
Why these next five
Together they are the mother tongue of 374 million people.
Hindi is not a substitute for most of them. The census records, for each language, how many of its speakers also speak Hindi. For Tamil it is 1.5%; for Telugu, 5.7%; for Kannada, 4.7%; for Bengali, 8.6%.
323.5 million people cannot be called in Hindi at all. That is why we’re building for each language in its own right.
Gujarati is already live. Every new language opens up conversations for more of India.
What support means
Native voices, not accents
Each language ships with its own voices, evaluated by native speakers. Not a Hindi voice reading Tamil.
The voice ships first
A full conversation in a language also needs our speech recognition and LLM to clear the same bar, and that follows the voice. The speech endpoint is where each language lands first.
Per-language dates are announced as each one clears evaluation — the same rule as everything else on the roadmap. A language does not ship because the calendar says so; it ships when it sounds like a person.
Early access
Each language runs an alpha with a small set of customers before it reaches the catalogue. If calls in one of these matter to your business, say which one on the access form — slots are allocated in order of ask, and alpha customers’ text is what we tune the final voices on.
