 For most of the eSpeak voices, I do not speak or understand the language, and I do not know how it should sound.  I can only make improvements as a result of feedback from speakers of that language.  If you want to help to improve a language, listen carefully and try to identify individual errors, either in the spelling-to-phoneme translation, the position of stressed syllables within words, or the sound of phonemes, or problems with rhythm and vowel lengths.
