A new beta of iOS 8.3 Apple released Monday morning shows Siri will soon be fluent in many more languages.

The new iPhone operating system build shows that Russian, Danish, Dutch, Thai, Turkish, Swedish and Portuguese will be added to Siri’s impressive repertoire, 9to5Mac reports. The new iOS will also add different English accents for regions like New Zealand.

Siri already knows French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, Italian, Cantonese, Korean, and Spanish—as well as regional variants of those languages.

The new iOS will also have a slew of more racially diverse palette of emoji, allowing users to click and hold on any emoji to change the skin tone.

There’s no set release date for iOS 8.3 yet.
