There is Arabic support in https://github.com/linuxscout/espeak-ng. This needs cleaning up to:

1. Simplify the history to not include small changes with non-descriptive commit messages.
2. Not add the Arabic MBROLA voice binary files to the espeak-ng repository.

[espeak-ng:master] New Comment on Pull Request #161 Support for Arabic language merged from https://github.com/linuxscout/espeak-ng
By rhdunn:

I am closing this as the branch contains other things than just the Arabic support. I have raised issue 176 to track enabling Arabic support.

#161 Support for Arabic language merged from https://github.com/linuxscout/espeak-ng
Reece, I contacted https://github.com/linuxscout/ about merging his fork into mainstream eSpeak NG, but merging his old fork into current version was too complicated for him. If yo can, can you also change author of changes to Taha Zerrouki taha_zerrouki@... and skip/rebase yet another merging commit https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/pull/161/commits/601beaa1289b786957d59c46d57b9fc6e3b4455d (this exercise was too complicated for me too...)
