# XTTS-v2 — English + Nigerian Pidgin (lr=5e-5, 10 epochs, ~35 min data)
Fine-tuned [Coqui XTTS-v2](https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2) for English and Nigerian Pidgin
(both synthesized with language id `en`), trained on `vaghawan/en-pidgin-high-similarity-11-35mins` (speaker `en_pidgin_voice`).
Pidgin has no native XTTS language code — train and infer Pidgin text as `en`.
