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=
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.
