Abstract: This paper presents a framework for building multilingual text-to-speech systems. It addresses the issue at three levels. First it discusses the necessary steps required to build a synthetic voice from scratch in a new language. The second concerns the building of a new voice without recording any new acoustic data, and the restrictions that imposes. The third more speculative part discusses the steps that would be necessary to allow high quality synthesis of new languages by recording only minimal amounts in that language.
