I have a student who speaks Kurdish central but cannot read it - is the spoken text likely to arrive in immersive reader or should I be looking to Google

    Hello @Mrs Davidson,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum! 

    I completely understand how valuable it would be to have Kurdish Central supported as a voice option in Teams or Immersive Reader, especially when a student can speak the language but cannot read it yet. Having the spoken text available directly within the Microsoft ecosystem would make the learning experience much more seamless and accessible, so your idea absolutely makes sense. 

    At the moment, Kurdish Central is not yet included in the list of supported voice languages, but your feedback is genuinely important. Enhancements like this often come directly from real classroom scenarios, and yours shows a clear educational need. I also agree with you that it would be far more convenient if this capability were built into the product. 

    To ensure your suggestion reaches the right team, I strongly encourage you to submit your proposal via Microsoft Teams · Community. This channel is reviewed directly by the product engineering teams, and user‑submitted feedback is considered when planning new features and future updates.
