Made for Spanish with a few extra phoentics… No, if you had a voicebank to compare with in those languages... You would notice how Maika doesn't match up. We have this same problem with English, especially with the post V4 era English Vocaloids. And the studio who made her pretty much confirmed all of this.

Saying that, bare in mind with Sonika Anders confirmed the reason most Vocaloids are singlar is to create a Vocaloid that has all languages would take years. You can to find and record a provider who has every sound and then check every form of phonetic, diaphonemic and triphonetic sound there is for quality and breaks/bugs. Finically it is impossible with how Vocaloid works to it, though other synthesizing styles such as Cantors are capable of it but thats because their purely data. You then have a real lack of realism. The issue is you can't find a provider to do the job as though most humans could likely do every sound, not naturally and consistently across the size of the library you would need. It would take years to finish and cost too much to make. The English vocaloids now take some of the longest and can take up to two years I think is the record without re-writes for a new engine. ITs likely to take about a decade to pull off. Considering making every sound of every variation alone would kill the project... Eh... I'll say be realistic here.

If you overhype Maika you risk making her something she is not, which those who push her English can often do even though its easily proven she can't faithfully match up to Diva and Songman alone.
