In which languages can I provide my lyrics?

SingerInMe supports Unicode. Unicode encodes scripts for languages rather than languages per se. Many scripts (for example the Latin script) are used to write a large number of languages.
The easiest answer is that Unicode covers all of the languages that can be written in the following scripts:
Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, Cherokee, Cyrillic, Devanagari [Awadhi, Bhasa, Bhili, Bhojpuri, Hindi, Kurukh, Konkani, Magahi, Marathi, Nepali, Pahari (Garhwali and Kumaoni), Sanskrit, and Sindhi], Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Han (Japanese, Chinese, Korean ideographs), Hangul, Hebrew, Hiragana, Kannada, Katakana, Khmer, Lao, Latin, Malayalam, Myanmar, Mongolian, Oriya, Sinhala, Syriac, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Thaana, Tibetan, and Yi.

SingerInMe supports the Unicode character set that supports over 100 languages. SingerInMe also supports digits 0 to 9, space, and the following special characters:‎
+ - _ . , ^ ~ ? ! : ( ) [ ] # '
Type [pa] to show Pause: ❙❙
Type [sl] to show Slow: 🐢
Type [qr] to indicate to sing the next line immediately: ↲
Type [da] to show Down Arrow - use it when you want the next line to be sung by another singer from this point: ↓
Type [vi] to show Vibrato - to indicate rapid reiteration of emphasis on a tone: ⸾
Type [cr] to show cry emotion: 😢

To show single or double dots above or below a character do the following. The examples below use the character A but you can use the convention for any character.
Type A[da] to show a single dot above a character A: Ȧ
Type A[DA] to show double dots above a character A: Ä
Type A[db] to show a single dot below a character A: Ạ
Type A[DB] to show double dots below a character A: A̤

For the following musical notes:
Type [qn] to show Quarter note: ♩
Type [en] to show Eighth note: ♪
Type [on] to show Ottave (Octave): ♫ or a very brief musical period
Type [2q] to show Two quarter notes united by double line: ♬
Type [fs] to show Flat symbol: ♭
Type [ns] to show Natural symbol: ♮
Type [ss] to show Sharp symbol: ♯
Type [lb] to show a left balloon: 🗨
Type [rb] to show a right balloon: 🗩
You could use the balloons in combination of the meaning syntax, explained next, to provide meaning for the entire line.

Sometime you may want to provide meaning to a word or a phrase.
For example, to provide meaning defined within the lyrics to the word hasti, use the following syntax.
raftaa rafataa wo mere [m:Existence]hasti[-m] kaa saamaa
The above will be rendered as
raftaa rafataa wo mere hasti kaa saamaa
Hoover over the word hasti to see the tooltip showing 'Existence'

To provide meaning to the word hasti, using the *dictionary, use the following syntax.
raftaa rafataa wo mere [me:6]hasti[-me] kaa saamaa
*Dictionary is currently being developed.
The above will be rendered as
raftaa rafataa wo mere hasti kaa saamaa
Hoover over the word hasti to see the tooltip showing 'अस्तित्व, Existence'

To provide meaning defeined within the lyrics to a phrase , use the following syntax.
raftaa rafataa wo mere hasti kaa saamaa ho gaye [m:Subtly and gradually, she became a part of my personality][rb][-m]
The above will be rendered as
raftaa rafataa wo mere hasti kaa saamaa ho gaye 🗩

Subtly and gradually, she became a part of my personality

Hoover over the 🗩 in the above line to see the tooltip.

To create overline text enclose the text between [ol] and [-ol]. For example, to show my overlined text write it as [ol]my overlined text[-ol].‎
To create bold text enclose the text between [b] and [-b].‎ For example, to show my bold text write it as [b]my bold text[-b].‎

To create underline text enclose the text between [u] and [-u]. For example, to show my underlined text write it as [u]my underlined text[-u].‎
To create italics text enclose the text between [i] and [-i].‎ For example, to show my italicized text write it as [i]my italicized text[-i].‎

You may combine overline, bold, underline, and italics together. For example to show: A line with multiple emphasis, you write:‎
A [b]line [u][i]with[-i] [ol]multiple[-ol][-u] [i]emphasis[-i][-b].‎

Annotating lyrics with the above special characters is very personal. The purpose for annotating is for you to help sing better and provide clues which you may otherwise forget. Here are some general guidelines to consider:
...: use 3 dots after a character when a character (sound) is stretched
~: use it after a character to indicate a slight manipulation of a character (sound); use double (~~) or triple (~~~) after a character to indicate the sound of the last character is repeated several times
^ or ♯: Type [ss] to indicate before a word or a character or a line to indicate it will be sung at a higher note.
_: use it between words to indicate it is sung as one word
♫: Type [on] to indicate a brief musical period or use it as +♫ before a line to indicate it is sung one octave higher or use it as -♫ before a line to indicate it is sung one octave lower
🐢: Type [sl] to indicate the line following is sung very slowly
❙❙ : Type [pa] to show Pause

What convention should I follow for naming my tracks?

For those who depend upon an audio or a video track, it is recommended to follow the following convention to have SingerInMe automatically associate your tracks from your local device to the lyrics in your playlist or the tracks in your cloud (server that could be on your local device or external) with your lyrics.

SingerInMe.com supports association of a track to 8 different types and they are as follows (space followed by a one or more letters): " K" (Karaoke), " O" (Original), " VG" (Voice guide), " VGF" (Voice Guide Female), " VGM" (Voice Guide Male), " C1" (Custom 1), " C2" (Custom 2). When the track type is not appended by any of the above types, SingerInMe maps it to type None.

Considering the lyrics title to be Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa, assume you have the track(s) for this lyrics as follows:
aankho.mp4: karaoke video track
aankhoO.mp4: original video track
aankho.mp3 and aankho.wav: karaoke versions in two formats
aankhoO.mp3: original audio track
aankhoOneEightSlow.mp3: karaoke track that is 1/8th of a note slow
aankhoOneQNoteSlow.mp3: karaoke track that is 1/4th of a note slow
aankhoVG.mp3: voice guide version
aankhoMale.mp3: track where the male voice guide is provided
aankhoFemale.mp3: track where the female voice guide is provided.

Follow these simple steps when naming your tracks.

Name your track after the title of the song.
Keep the spaces from the title.
Append it by " K", that is a space followed by K for a karaoke track, by " O" for original audio track, by " C1" for One-Eight Note Slow, by " C2" for Quarter Note Slow, by _VG for voice guide, by _VGM for voice guide male, and by " VGF" for voice guide female. Note C1 and C2 are for custom convention that meets your needs. Be consistent when associating your tracks with C1 and C2 to help you easily identify the track types.
Append it by .mp3 for an mp3 track, .wav for a wav track, etc.

Taking the above steps, you should rename your tracks as follows:

Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa K.mp4 (previously named aankho.mp4).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa O.mp4 (previously named aankhoO.mp4).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa K.mp3 (previously named aankho.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa K.wav (previously named aankho.wav).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa O.mp3 (previously named aankhoO.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa C1.mp3 (previously named aankhoOneEightSlow.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa C2.mp3 (previously named aankhoOneQNoteSlow.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa VG.mp3 (previously named aankhoVG.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa VGM.mp3 (previously named aankhoMale.mp3).
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaaraa VGF.mp3 (previously named aankhoFemale.mp3).

You can load a single track to match the current lyrics on Lyrics View page or load multiple tracks to match all the tracks in your playlist from Lyrics Live On Stage page. Details are provided in the tutorial: How do I upload one or more tracks from my local device?

Gold Subscription (load tracks from cloud)
For members with Gold subscription, you can also have your lyrics be automatically associate to your tracks that are in your cloud.

Cloud storage is space on a server generally hosted by third parties where you can upload your files, including audio tracks, and have access to those files from multiple devices. The cloud server does not necessarily have to reside externally but can be on your local device as well.

Before you can associate your tracks in the cloud with your lyrics, you first need to decide on what type of cloud server services would best meet your needs and then upload your tracks to the cloud server.

There are three (3) basic types of cloud server services and SingerInMe supports accessing and loading your tracks from all of them and is described in the tutorial: How do I upload tracks to my cloud server?

Once you have uploaded your tracks in the cloud (server), the next step is to set and associate the path of your track in the cloud (server) to the lyrics. SingerInMe will automatically load the track for each lyrics and allows you to:

Manually associate tracks with each of your lyrics.
Automatically associate the tracks in the cloud (server can be local or remote) with all your lyrics.

Manually associate tracks with each of your lyrics

You can set the cloud path from Lyrics View page, from Lyrics Live On Stage page, or from Lyrics Edit page by selecting the Change link corresponding to Track Location/File on that page as shown in the figure below.

After selecting the Change link, the Change link will change to a Close link, and a dialog box will appear as shown in the figure below.

You would manually set the Track location when:

Setting the track to either the male voice guide, female voice guide, or karaoke version.
Setting the track to the original version for rehearsals.

Automatically associate the tracks in the cloud (server can be local or remote) with all your lyrics

This is the most preferred way and is done by setting the cloud location to your tracks in your Account Settings. Select Account→Account Settings as shown in figure below.

Account Settings menu item in Account menu — From **Account** menu select **Account Settings**

On the Account Settings page, select the Change Cloud Location link as shown in the figure below.

Set the default to the format used most frequently by the tracks you have uploaded in your cloud server.
