In this paper, a new multilingual text-to-speech system based on inductive learning has been developed. This system is called ILATalk. It is composed of three phases: the analysis phase, learning phase, and synthesis phase. It can accept any language; all what is needed is to store the data set that contains the training examples that are generated from a representative and selected subset of words from the required language in addition to the associated phonemes of the language in data tables to be used as input to the system. The system has been thoroughly tested with many sets of experiments with various parameters and sizes, and compared with two known approaches: ID3 and NN Backpropagation. The results obtained showed that ILATalk produces correct phonemes with high accuracy and out-performs these algorithms in most cases.
