• All clips are single-emotion per file
• The reference audio IS the emotion carrier — QwenTTS clones both voice and emotion
• Hindi Female uses Rasa Urdu Female speaker (nearly identical phonology to Hindi)
• Hindi Male combines Rasa Hindi Male + Rasa Urdu Male speakers
• English clips have 2 intensity levels (normal + strong) per emotion
