This fixes the intonation in Latin American Spanish questions, removes
the phoneme replacement (T to s) because it is already included in
phonemes es_la. It also eliminates the line languaje es 6, because when
the voice is in the dialect of Spain and it automatically changes to the
dialect of Latin America, it does not return to the dialect of Spain.

This commit implements support for [Totontepec Mixe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totontepec_Mixe). The Espeak rules are based on the phonological inventory, orthographic mappings, and phonetic processes described in the "Esbozo fonológico" (phonological outline/sketch) chapter of Verónica Guzmán Guzmán's 2012 master's thesis in Indo American Linguistics awarded by the [Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social](https://ciesas.edu.mx/) and *Vocabulario Mixe de Totontepec* (Totontepec Mixe vocabulary), compiled by Alvin Schoenhals and Louise C. Schoenhals and published by the Summer Institute of Linguistics in 1965.
This commit was developed as part of a project for [Computational Linguistics](https://jnw.domains.swarthmore.edu/ling073/syllabus.php) at [Swarthmore College](https://swarthmore.edu). We feel that this language is suitable for merge with "testing" status, but further verification/improvements by native speakers would be very helpful.

- We want to use br* voices in priority for Brazilian Portugues, but not
for general Portuguese.
- We want to use ca* and Belgian voices for Canadian and Belgian French,
but rather not for general French.
The Elvish languages have the same general stress rule as Latin [1]:
stress falls on the penultimate syllable if that is heavy (contains a
long vowel, a diphthong, or a vowel followed by two or more consonants),
otherwise on the antepenultimate syllable. For Latin, espeak-ng
implements this by declaring “penultimate syllable” as the general
stress rule in espeak-ng-data/, and then adding rules in dictsource/
that match light syllables and move the primary stress to the previous
syllable, i.e. the antepenultimate one. We use the same basic principle
for the Elvish languages here (but using the terms “heavy” and “light”
rather than “weak” and “strong” like in the Latin files).
Note that this doesn’t fully implement the stress rules yet: we have no
concept of diphthongs, long vowels aren’t really properly handled yet,
and we also still count ⟨ch⟩, ⟨dh⟩, ⟨th⟩ as two consonants rather than
one as it should be. This will be improved separately (I prefer doing
this in small incremental steps).

This prepares the languages of Quenya and Sindarin, setting up their
infrastructure without declaring a lot of rules yet – just enough for
“Eä” (a Quenya word, but I can’t think of a similarly simple one for
Sindarin). Phonemes are inherited from Esperanto for now.
cmn now handles all latin characters as English.
The old functionality of assuming latin characters are pinyin can be
achieved with new language cmn-Latn-pinyin.
