@ZLY_CZLOWIEK I congratulate you on the support you have received for French, among other new options.
It’s COMEING!!!
French is added on the technical preview but sadly far from perfect…

what? it’s there? how can I A.C.C.E.S.S. it?
also for the dots in “A.C.C.E.S.S.” this isn’t meant to be an Acronym, I myself don’t know why I wrote it like that. It looks weird
never mind I found the installer but I have a question:
How do I access the phoneme list?
I’m now exploring the languages and attempting to formulate a phoneme list
The french R doesn’t sound good (I used Mo Chen 2) - what I hear sounds more like the batchim phoneme l in Korean (retroflex lateral)

There does not appear to be a way to make a correct uvular r.
The plosives and fricatives appear to look like what I expected
same for the sonorants (except that ugly R)
though incidentally in the cluster E R directly before a silence or pause, the engine can fake the R to sound decent (but not perfect) though it’s still too much of an approximant
The French nasal consonants also perform well

And now the vowels
these look and sound as expected.
the
9 sounds a bit bad. too much “o” sound in the 9
and here are the unique French sounds (schwa-like vowel and nasals).

Here is my German test
Unlike the French R which sounded decent at least sometimes, this new German R is almost completely mute and practically inaudible. For some reason the name of the letter R itself instead of
cl E :6, is phonemized as E cl 6 with the cl in the wrong place and the : symbol missing
the affricate
dZ is missing from German support and is instead replaced with Z, but what’s weird is that the pf makes a “t” sound (as in tee) which is a bug.
the vowels…
unlike the French
9, the German 9 is pretty decent. The diphthongs however, especially Oy, tend to flatten into simpler sounds like “oh”

And lastly there’s Portuguese.
For some reason “ya” soudns as n 6
the R in Portuguese becomes h which is unsurprising as Brazilians say it like that
there’s also this guy
and the vowels:
The Portuguese nasals sometimes sound correct but not always.

Unfortunately, the XLS for the six preëxisting language has a noticeable regression like that in 200.
For example the prevocalic velar nasal in existing languages like Cantonese, tends to collapse into a plain m or n sound. I’d recommend using v201 for existing languages, and only use the new one for new languages.
also, why is the new version 204 and not 203?
Yi Wei’s French R is half decent, Mo Chen is atrocious
There is also a noticeable overall quality degradation in 204b1.
I also get crashes sometimes.
