“Murya” — “voice,” in Hausa
Built by Hausa,
for Hausa.
The first open, multi-speaker Hausa text-to-speech — trained on native recordings, judged by a native ear, owned by the community it serves.
“Barka da zuwa cibiyar Muryar Hausa”
Muryoyi · The Voices
Eight native speakers
One model, eight distinct Hausa voices — men and women — articulating the full sound system of the language, hooked consonants and all.
Me ya sa · Why it matters
The sounds that make Hausa, Hausa
Hausa's hooked consonants — ɓ, ɗ, ƙ, ƴ — are not decoration; they change meaning. ɗa (son) is not da (with). Existing systems flatten them. Murya was built to preserve them, because a voice that loses them is not, fully, a Hausa voice.
