Short answer: Not with Professional Voice Cloning today.

  • PVC only accepts training audio in languages supported by the Flash v2.5/Turbo v2.5 models. Catalan isn’t on that list, and PVC will reject samples recorded in unsupported languages. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • In general, accent comes from the voice: if a clone is trained in the target language/accent, it will speak with that accent when you generate in that language. But since Catalan isn’t a PVC language, you can’t create a Catalan-native PVC at this time. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • For TTS, the Eleven v3 model does support Catalan generation, but PVC language availability is different from v3’s language coverage. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you try non‑PVC cloning routes with unsupported languages, results can be unpredictable and aren’t recommended. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Short answer: there isn’t an officially recommended “default” Catalan-native voice for Eleven v3. v3 can synthesize Catalan, but the accent comes from the specific voice you choose or clone.

What to use instead

  • Pick a Professional Voice Clone that was trained in Catalan: in the Voice Library, use the language and accent filters to find professional voices native to your target language/dialect. These clones carry their native accent into v3 generations. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Avoid default/Voice Design voices for Catalan: all default and Voice Design voices are English, so they will sound non‑native in other languages. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • API tip: if you generate via API, you can set the language_code (ISO 639‑1) to enforce correct text normalization for the target language. On the website, language is auto‑detected from the text, so avoid mixing languages in one prompt. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Important limitation (as of November 16, 2025)

  • Creating a new Professional Voice Clone specifically in Catalan may not be available: PVC currently supports only the languages listed in our PVC article, and Catalan is not on that list. If you don’t find a suitable Catalan professional voice in the Library, this is why. (help.elevenlabs.io)

For reference

  • Eleven v3 supports Catalan among its 70+ languages; the model choice is not the issue—the voice/accent is. (elevenlabs.io)

If you’d like, I can walk you through filtering the Voice Library to locate any available Catalan-native professional voices and testing them with v3. (help.elevenlabs.io)

why are there no voices classified as speaking the new languages v3 speaks? v3 added 40 new languages but when filtering voices by them, none appear. what will be the voice that goes best with catalan? a spanish speaking voice? a french speaking? does that matter at all?

Short answer

  • Model vs. voices: Eleven v3 can synthesize 70+ languages (including Catalan), but the Voice Library only lists voices that creators have shared and tagged. If no Professional Voice Clones have been shared for a given language yet, filtering by that language will return zero results. This is expected and independent of the model’s language coverage. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Default/Voice Design voices: All default and Voice Design voices are English-only; when used in other languages they retain a (slight) English accent. They aren’t shareable in the Library, so they won’t populate new-language filters. (help.elevenlabs.io)

What to use for Catalan

  • Accent comes from the voice, not the model. For best results in Catalan, use a voice trained on Catalan audio (clone a Catalan speaker or pick a Professional Clone tagged “Catalan” when such voices are available). Using a Spanish- or French-trained voice can lead to accent drift or mispronunciations—this is especially likely between similar languages. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Eleven v3 itself supports Catalan, so once you select a Catalan-trained voice, generation in Catalan is supported. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Tips

  • On the website the language is auto-detected from your text; via API you can set language_code to disambiguate short/ambiguous prompts. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • In the Voice Library you can use the language filter (and preview per-language samples where provided) or upload a reference clip to find similar voices. If no Catalan results appear, consider creating a Professional Clone from Catalan recordings. (help.elevenlabs.io)

can a profesional clone be created from catalan recordings? catalan is not supported by the models that support professionally cloned voices though... if not, could I professionally clone a voice saying it is 'spanish' but actually uploading the audio recording in catalan?

Short answer: No—Professional Voice Cloning (PVC) can only be created in the languages supported by the Flash v2.5 and Turbo v2.5 models, and Catalan is not on that list. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Details and options:

  • Eleven v3 can synthesize Catalan (CAT) from text, but PVC training itself does not support Catalan today. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Uploading Catalan recordings while declaring the clone as “Spanish” is not recommended: cloning in a language the AI doesn’t support leads to unpredictable results; it may capture timbre but won’t enable the model to speak that language correctly. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • For best accent/pronunciation, ElevenLabs recommends using a voice cloned in the same language/accent you plan to generate; language is determined by the text, while accent comes from the voice. If you use a Spanish-trained voice to speak Catalan, expect a Spanish accent. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • You can browse the Voice Library and filter by language/accent to see if any shared Professional Voice Clones meet your needs, but only PVC voices can be shared there. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you specifically need a professionally cloned native-Catalan voice, you’ll need to wait until Catalan is added to the PVC-supported language list. (help.elevenlabs.io)
