@JayPanoz just a heads up that Aman, Tara and Aru don't include any quality in their package name. Hattori can't be reliably detected using a name, so I've included the package name as well. |

While testing on Firefox, I noticed three new voices:
Upon further investigation, it seems that Aman/Tara are both Pendjabi and English Indian voices, but the Pendjabi ones don't show up (yet?) in any browser.
All three voices were added in iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26.
I've also noticed that Hattori was replaced by a much higher quality version which seems to be designed for Siri. Weirdly enough, it doesn't show any usable name at all (just "- (premium)"), but I've updated Hattori anyway and added the package name.
Unlike Aman/Tara/Aru, Hattori also shows up in Chrome. As usual, Safari is lagging behind and doesn't show any of them.
Since this PR adds support for Kazakh, I also documented the Microsoft Edge voices available for this language.
