Elizabeth,

With Orca, the Linux screen reader, there are a lot of language options. 
I don't know about Arabic or Somali offhand...

Here are some links you might find helpful in your research:

Visit http://live.gnome.org/Orca for more information on Orca.
The manual is at
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/ats-2.html
The FAQ is at http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

HTH! Sounds like a great project. I'm impressed. /smile/
