How to Set the Language | Sarvam API Docs

Bulbul v3 supports 11 languages (10 Indian + English). It is a required parameter — always specify it using a valid BCP-47 language code.

The target_language_code parameter is required for every TTS request. It is primarily effective for handling language-specific processing of numbers, abbreviations, and special characters.

Supported Languages:

Language	Code
English	`en-IN`
Hindi	`hi-IN`
Bengali	`bn-IN`
Tamil	`ta-IN`
Telugu	`te-IN`
Kannada	`kn-IN`

Marathi	`mr-IN`
