Regional languages speech pack: Saraiki, Balochi, Brahui, Hindko

These are the languages with essentially no public speech corpora. There is no Common Voice of Brahui and no open archive of spoken Saraiki. We collect them where the speakers live, through community networks rather than crowd platforms, because that is the only way to reach them at all.

Answers

Questions about this dataset

Crowd platforms skew heavily toward urban, English-literate users with good bandwidth — a population that barely overlaps with native Saraiki, Balochi, Brahui or Hindko speakers. Community recruitment in Multan, Quetta and Hazara reaches the speakers a crowd platform never will.

A typical first delivery is 100–300 hours. Free sample packs, pilots and larger programmes are all available.

Yes. The pack can be licensed as a whole or as a single-language subset; ask about a subset when you request the sample.
