Language configuration
In order for your language to work with emofilt, you need to insert a tag
in the language.xml file where you specify the features of the language's phoneme set.
Note that each voice needs to have its own tag as it can have its own phoneme set.
Some languages are already provided for
languages XML-file, currently German,
Turkish, Greek, French, English (British and US), Italian, Hungarian, Dutch:
de[1,2,3,4,6,7], en1, fr1, tr1, gr2, hu1, it3, nl2, us1, us2
example language-description:

<replacements>
<!-- this is to simulate vowal target overshoot or undershoot. -->
<!-- If you give a number of central vowels and their decentral -->
<!-- counterparts, they will be replaced by each other-- -->
