[nabs-l] Hindi

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

I cannot tell you where to get this gem, but there is a voice called 
ScanSoft Lekha that speaks Hindi. She needs some work on her retroflex 
sounds and other issues, but she's tons better than shoonya, or zero!

Being that you're taking a language that, up to now anyway, is outside the 
box for most DRS's, you'll have to pay a classmate to describe the alphabet 
to you. I haven't taken an actual course in Hindi... Yet!
