Phoneme definitions. Add "equivalents" table to translate phonemes from a foreign language (eg. English) into the equivalant phonemes of this language. This is used when *_rules and *_list files indicate that a word uses pronunciation rules from a different language. Unpronouncable words can be recognised by rules in *_rule files. This feature is now used for en, de, es. Lang=ta, hi. Letter-names for combining vowel characters are distinguished from stand-alone vowel characters by a preceding beep. git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@251 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
These are the spelling-to-phoneme pronunciation rules and exceptions lists for each language. You can make changes and then re-compile them to produce the "_dict" file in the espeak-data data directory (eg. "en_dict") which the speak program used. Use: speak --compile=<voicename> to compile the data for a particular language. It automatically replaces the corresponding _dict file in espeak-data, ready for use by the speak program. An "_extra" file, (eg. en_extra) can be used to in addition to the "_list" file to add exception words without disturbing the official "_list" file. It is treated as an extension of the "_list" file. Language Notes: Russian. An additional dictionary of Russian words and their stress positions is available at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/russian_data.zip. This allows eSpeak to put the stress on the correct syllable of Russian words.
