How can I add an audio dataset for Bashkir language?

[AigizK]

I have an audio dataset (audio and transcript in Cyrillic) with a female voice in the Bashkir language. What should I do to get you to support our language as well?

Hello @AigizK,
I have added Bashkir to the list of languages we're planning in our next group. A dataset is exactly what we'll need. Where is your dataset at the moment? We need look at and listen to it please, to see if it will do well with our existing models. I do think adding Bashkir will be simpler than some other languages, since we already have included other Cyrillic alphabet languages.

Our team has discussed what's most efficient for our resources, and we'd like to do several language requests at once. We plan to do it after finishing the project our STT/TTS team is working on right now, and before starting the next one. That shouldn't be long. You are welcome to email me directly at [email protected] if that's a better way to show us your dataset.
