The Spanish voice should also present problems with b/v, s/z, c/j and y. The Portuguese voice might do better with the consonants, but worse with the vowels. Is there a Slovenian or Croatian voice? Those are often said to be very good for Esperanto, which has a phoneme inventory much like that of Lojban. (Although looking at their Wikipedia articles, it seems they lack [h] too.) mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
