Why most AI songs sound English
Many AI singers learned mostly from English music. Given another language in Latin letters, they read it like English, so vowels and stress drift. Two things fix most of it: writing lyrics in the language’s own script, and telling the model which language it is singing.
How Autunes handles it
- Lyrics are written and sung in the native script: Arabic for Arabic and Urdu, Devanagari for Hindi and Marathi, Gurmukhi for Punjabi, Hangul for Korean, Kana and Kanji for Japanese, Cyrillic for Russian, Greek for Greek.
- Romanised lyrics (for example Hindi typed in English letters) are converted to the native script before singing.
- Every finished vocal is transcribed and compared with the intended lyrics. On Pro and Creator, Auto-Fix re-sings only the lines that came out wrong.
Languages
Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Urdu, Bhojpuri and more. Middle East and Africa: Arabic (Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine), Persian, Turkish, Swahili. Asia-Pacific: Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog. Europe: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Swedish, Russian.
Getting the best result
- Set the vocal language explicitly; don’t leave it on auto for short or mixed lyrics.
- Write in the native script where one exists, and keep accents and special letters.
- If you describe the song instead of writing lyrics, say the language in the description too.
- Name a regional style (“Khaleeji”, “bossa nova”, “K-pop ballad”, “Bollywood duet”) so the music matches the words.
Compared with English-first tools
Suno and Udio make excellent English songs and are good choices for English pop and rock. For songs in Arabic, Hindi and other Indian languages, Indonesian or another language where pronunciation is the hard part, a tool built around native-script singing is usually the stronger choice.
