The problem
Why Nepali is hard
01
Why Nepali is hard
Nepali shares Devanagari script with Hindi but has distinct grammar and vocabulary. Models default to Hindi output without careful routing. Indian Nepali and Nepal Nepali are closely related but not identical.
02
How ThinnestAI handles it
- Explicit Nepali routing where supported.
- Fallback behavior that clearly labels when Hindi TTS is used as substitute.
- Support tier is beta — pilot before production.
