I'm no way an expect in any of this, but I'd expect that there would be a lot of features common between a lot of languages, akin to the International Phonetic Alphabet [0]. Pre-training on all languages to get those shared features could make it easier to fine-tune eg. English on top perhaps. Or not, just pondering here.
