Mba'épa Nepali Ñe'ẽnguéra.:

Nepali is written in Devanagari, an abugida where each consonant carries an inherent 'a' vowel and other vowels attach as marks above, below or beside the letter, so accurate text-to-speech depends on correctly resolving conjunct consonants and the schwa — knowing when that inherent vowel is actually pronounced and when it is silently dropped, a decision Devanagari does not spell out. The language distinguishes aspirated from unaspirated stops and dental from retroflex consonants, contrasts that are meaningful in Nepali and easy for a naive voice to flatten, so the synthesis has to render kha versus ka and the retroflex ट series cleanly. Nepali is heavily honorific, with several politeness levels encoded in pronouns and verb forms, meaning a natural-sounding voice should read formal and respectful registers as fluently as casual ones rather than treating them as anomalies. Real demand comes from Nepal's government and education services reaching a population with significant low-literacy and visually impaired segments, and from the vast Nepali-speaking diaspora across the Gulf, India and beyond who consume Nepali news, religious content and remittance-related communications by audio.
