Fortunately, you do not need to do that for Emacspeak, which is not a
browser (it has two major ones in it, same as Emacs, but with added
features for speaking).  Emacspeak is an audio desktop.

For lojban in Emacspeak you may need to do two things:

  * specify the equivalents of lojban letters and IPA letters, an
    equivalence which has already been specified, and

  * speak the 6000 or so double phones, diphones, that Festival needs
    (and maybe a few triphones).  I am told this is very boring.

    (I have not installed a new language into Emacspeak.  Perhaps
    Festival Lite, which is what eflite calls, lacks the capabilities
    of the big Festival program.  I don't know.  If so, eflite either
    will not work or needs extra programing.  That could be a problem;
    but as I say, I don't know.)

It would also be nice to have different buffers with different
pronunctiations, so Emacspeak pronounces a buffer containing Lojban in
lojban and a buffer containing English in English.  I do not know what
that involves.
