Hey, some of you have asked what Carrajena sounds
like. I don't have the required equipment to give you
a REAL sample of C-a, but I just found a REALLY cool
approximation! My geocities website has been
pestering me with adds for "talking characters" that
can be added to a geocities site. I finally decided
to follow the link to see what it was all about and
ended up at

This site offers a very expensive little service, but
the test module lets you type in a text for the
"characters" to read. So I decided to type in a
simple C-a text, "Fista la limba Carrajena esti."
This is the Carthaginian language. I tried it and the
"American" voice really butchered it. I tried all the
various voices and finally found one that very closely
approximates the way C-a should sound. The rr is a
bit weak and there are a few other shortcomings, but
if you type in that text and choose Pierre to read it
as French you get pretty close. Alberto reading it as
Spanish is not too bad either. He gets the rr just
about right but his j is WAY to soft. Give it a try!!
Adam
