As in, which language would you like to have introduced in the upcoming V4 engine?
I'd say having a Vocaloid with a Hindi Voicebank would be interesting....
(Didn't make a poll since there are many different languages out there)

In the same hindsight, you can say this also for "British accent". Just 1 mile down the road and another village, the accent changes in the UK. Though its not as tight per square mile, America has similair issues. The south and the North states of America alone have some great differences between them.
This is why we don't let people write things like "Oliver has a London accent". Because the one accent that everyone thinks is "London" is the cockney accent, which doesn't cover the ENTIRE area of London... Only those within earshot of the bells bows of a certain chapel are the origins of the accent. Heck, "pirate talk" is a british accent, since the stereotype accent origins from the west country of England. I have a great uncle who sounds like a pirate, in other words, yet he is a historian. :-/

I second this. Bollywood music typically does have many lyrics with english in them. Especially nowadays. Even a few BOLLYWOOD songs are just mostly english (Ex. Dhoom Again. ) But if they ever do a south asian Voicebank. I'd rather it be Hindi as Urdu is very much like Hindi. As for Arabic, I'm not sure how many people who speak Arabic are actually into the Vocaloid fandom.
I would like French, German and Italian.
French is an absolute definite, seeing the as dissappointment known as ALYS failed to deliver on the whole "French Vocaloid" thing, not that ALYS sounds bad, and I fully support her, but my goodness, the way they've been marketing her is awful, and it's extremely dissappointing she got moved to CeVIO.
Seeing as Swedish vocals have also played a somewhat large role in Vocaloid history, perhaps it deserves a place in the V4 software as well.
I also notice the Vocaloid 3 ( Maybe Vocaloid 2?) Software and onwards has been viewable in Russian, so maybe that's hinting towards Russian voicebanks in the future?
Yep, Hindi is probably a great choice as there are so many speakers, and the India sub-continent has many techie users. I'm sure it would be popular in India.
Again for Southeast Asia, ASEANs already hosted a few Vocaloid concerts. How about Vocaloids in Thai or Malay?
French. After the dissapointment of ALYS, it would be good to get a REAL French VB.
Russian, German, and Persian vocaloids would be cool.
I would love to see a latin vocaloid~
I honestly want a German VOCALOID or two. More languages = bigger audience.
