Requesting for IBM Bluemix Watson Text-to-speech supports Mandarin and Cantonese

IBM Bluemix Watson Text-to-speech service supports Mandarin and Cantonese. 

IBM Bluemix Watson Speech-to-Text support Mandarin, it's logical that Text-to-speech support Mandarin. 

Meanwhile, there is a niche market on STT/TTS for Cantonese, which could serve Hong Kong, Macau & some south east Asia customers.
