Probably some of it you can accomplish by dictionary entries. Some of it might
be hard to configure because synthesisers are usually adapted for certain
languages. For example eloquence can't really do british well, it sounds like
some american doing a really bad impression of a british accent. I also can't
imagine for example how any jaws synthesiser would correctly immitate the sound
in Navajo you get with the /l letter. This sounds something like a th sound
with your tung curled down and your cheeks pushed out. I mention this because
I've never properly heard elvish spoken so don't know what sounds it has.
Tolkin rocks!!

Subject: jaws and the Elvish language
Hi all!
I'm a bit of a Tolkien nut,and I recently downloaded some text files which will
enable me to learn to speak his invented Elvish language, more specifically, the
Quenya dialect. Has anyone ever worked with this language and Jaws before? Is
there any way to make it pronounce everything correctly? Thanks!
Allison
