The problem
Why Maithili is hard
01
Why Maithili is hard
Maithili is frequently conflated with Hindi by multilingual TTS models. Dedicated Maithili voices are rare. Speakers generally understand Hindi but a native Maithili agent materially outperforms a Hindi one for first-contact rates in Mithila.
02
How ThinnestAI handles it
- Maithili-specific routing where providers support it natively.
- Configurable fallback to Hindi with Maithili-aware prompting where no native voice exists.
- Recommendation of human QA before launching high-stakes Maithili deployments.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maithili production-ready?
+
Beta tier. Provider support exists but is less mature than for Hindi/Tamil/Bengali. We recommend pilot deployments with native-speaker QA before scaling.
