ArXi:2603.07513v1 Announce Type: new Kashmiri is spoken by around 7M people but remains critically underserved in speech technology, despite its official status and rich linguistic heritage. The lack of robust Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems limits digital accessibility and inclusive human-computer interaction for native speakers. In this work, we present the first dedicated open-source neural TTS system designed for Kashmiri.
