Microsoft's TTS SDK (SAPI) is language-agnostic - it relies on TTS engines to actually transform the text to speech.
That being said, as far as I know, there are no free Arabic TTS engines available.
Acapela has an Arabic male and female voice available for purchase, but I have no idea how much it costs.
