About Albanian text to speech
Albanian occupies a branch of the Indo-European family entirely its own, with no close living relatives, so like Basque it gives a synthesis model little to borrow from neighbouring languages despite centuries of contact across the Balkans. Its 36-letter Latin alphabet is largely phonemic but leans heavily on digraphs — dh, gj, ll, nj, rr, sh, th, xh, and zh each represent a single sound — and a model that mistakes them for letter pairs will mispronounce ordinary words. The vowel ë, a schwa that is often barely voiced in rapid speech and sometimes dropped altogether, is another place where natural timing separates a good voice from a mechanical one. Standard Albanian is based largely on the Tosk dialect of the south, and it serves as an official language in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia, which sustains steady demand in government communication, media, tourism, and diaspora content.
