This is more importanting when focus is to **Automate Phone Calls** for regions like India, Middle East, South East Asia as people speak many languages(Hindi, Arabic, Malay, Tamil, Telugu etc.) and often expectation from Voice Agents is to understand code-switched languages like Hinglish(Hindi and English mixed).
