I found and followed this fix with no success: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-text-to-speech-reading-in-wrong-language-bd7602d6-0570-4e13-8288-233de2fc9a8f
Looks like a new issue and something was broken on the way.

    Hello, I am Leonielhou, an Independent Advisor and a user like you, I am happy to help clarify any questions you may have.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing that. The "Read Aloud" feature in Word uses a text-to-speech (TTS) engine to generate speech from the text in a document. The TTS engine uses the proofing language of the document to determine how to pronounce words and generate speech. However, if the TTS engine does not have a voice for the proofing language, it may fall back to a default voice, such as the one for English.

    Kindly try install a TTS engine that includes a voice for your language, and then configure Word to use it. Microsoft provides a range of TTS voices that can be downloaded and installed on your computer, including voices for many different languages. Once you've installed a TTS voice for your language, you can set it as the default voice for the "Read Aloud" feature in Word by following these steps:

    1. Open Word and go to the "File" menu.
    2. Click on "Options."
    3. Select "Proofing" from the left-hand sidebar.
    4. In the "Spelling and grammar" section, click on "Settings."
    5. In the "Writing Assistant" section, make sure that "Read Aloud" is enabled.
    6. Click on the "Change voice" button.
    7. Select the TTS voice for your language from the list of voices, and then click "OK."
    8. Click "OK" again to close the Word Options dialog box.

    If that still fails, you may want to install a Third-Party TTS engine, and configure word to use it. Some of the popular TTS engines out there are Google TTS , Amazon Polly , etc. You could refer the documentation of these TTS engines, to configure in your system and Word.

    Please let me know right away if this worked or not for you.
