+The BCP47 name is the standard language identifier for the accent, used as the

+transcriptions of that accent, and the BCP47 names are used for the eSpeak NG
+phoneme names.
+
+## Vowels
+
The English language support uses a vowel system based on John Wells' Lexical
Sets\[1\]. These were created by Wells in 1982
by comparing the Received Pronunciation British (RP) and General American
(GenAm) accents in use at that time.
