Your datasets. Are they public? For more under represented languages we DONT need closed voice models - what the world really needs is open voice data repositories (eg TTS ready voice banks AND phonemization db in projects like Mozila CommonVoice). Why? Because there is so small need commercially these countries are not commercially viable - but we DO need TTS for assistive technology purposes and this has very little $$$ associated with it
(Saying that Urdu is NOT a small population so well done..!)
They aren't public. Agreed on commercially viable, even in Pakistan, businesses are price sensitive, currently there priced realllly cheap (just because they are small).
