Donato was exploring the use of Polish and Czech voices.  The only 
real problem with Polish, as far as I remember, was the lack of a Polish 
equivalent of {'}.  If you want to hear, paste the text below into

There are two Polish voices there, so try them both.

The following text is from the xorxes translation of Metamorphosis. 
Donato has some code for converting the lojban text into text the 
reader will recognize as Polish.
