Santali Voice AIBuild voice agents in ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ
Santali has 7.6 million speakers across Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and Bihar — a scheduled language of the Santal tribal community. Government services, tribal welfare programmes and targeted financial inclusion workloads benefit from native Santali voice AI.

The problem
Why Santali is hard
01
Why Santali is hard
Santali uses the Ol Chiki script developed in the 1920s, and is a non-Indo-Aryan language (Munda family). Provider support is minimal. This is a hard-to-serve language that matters socially and commercially for tribal-focused deployments.
02
How ThinnestAI handles it
- Limited tier — pilot engagements only.
- Transliteration-based fallbacks for TTS where no native voice exists.
- We actively partner with government and NGO launch customers on Santali-specific fine-tuning.
