Description

🚀 Feature Request

I saw Newari Language Support there which is a minority language of Nepal, but I coulld not find Nepali Language support. Would be grateful, if you could add Nepali language support as well.

Motivation

Nepali Language is used across Nepal and the model can be helpful for Nepali Language.

Pitch

Nepali Langauge currently does not have tts support in facebook mms. Having Nepali Language support can be of huge benefit to majority population of Nepal.
