any updates on this? hopefully add cantonese support

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the library we use. It should be easy to integrate all the languages Kokoro supports once hexgrad/kokoro#262 is accepted upstream and then a new version is released, but it's been months that the pull request (and the hexgrad/kokoro repo as a whole) is stale.
