Malayalam has no TTS yet, atleast not anything that sounds good..
Hoping you would add in upcoming versions

No, Malayalam will not be available in Kokoro for two blocking reasons (and this goes for most unavailable languages):

  1. I do not know of a good G2P system for Malayalam. Since languages usually share phonemes and the model is fairly small, accurate G2P is paramount.
  2. I do not have any Malayalam training data.

Maybe you should consider this instead: https://huggingface.co/ai4bharat/indic-parler-tts
