<strong>ru &nbsp;Russian</strong><br>
<dd>So far it's just an initial attempt with basic pronunciation rules. Work is needed especially on the consonants. Russian has two versions of most consonants, "hard" and "soft" (palatalised) and in most cases eSpeak doesn't yet make a proper distinction.<br>
Russian stress position is unpredictable so a large lookup dictionary is needed of those words where eSpeak doesn't guess correctly. To avoid increasing the size of the basic eSpeak package, this is available separately at: <a href="http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/">http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/</a>

<dd>Just a naive simple one-to-one translation from single Simplified Chinese characters to phonetic equivalents in Cantonese. There is limited attempt at disambiguation, grouping characters into words, or adjusting tones according to their surrounding syllables. This voice needs Chinese character to phonetic translation data, which is available as a separate download for Cantonese at: <a href="http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/">http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/</a>.<br>The voice can also read Jyutping romanised text.
