== Contributions ==
People interested in adding support for a language in MARY TTS can contact Marc Schröder (schroed at dfki.de). We can discuss whether you want to do your development on your own servers or in a branch on the MARY SVN repository. Once it is sufficiently mature, your contribution could be merged into the trunk and become part of a future MARY TTS release.

Any pronunciation corrections are welcome on the PronunciationCorrections page.
