Hello Eliza,

I am not a speaker of any language with an alphabet other than latin. Please
be careful with the word nonstandard. It's only nonstandard to those of us
whose languages use the Latin alphabet. To Nimer, the Arabic alphabet is
standard and ours is nonstandard. Anyway, Jaws does have Realspeak solo
direct voices for Russian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean,
Japanese and Greek as well as Czech and Polish, whose versions of the Latin
alphabet has some other diacritical marks that must have special treatment.

Ben
