-Words can be marked in the `*_list` or `*_rules` file to be spoken using
-a foreign voice. This `dictdialect` attribute can be used to specify
-which dialect of the foreign language should be used, instead of the
-default dialect. The currently available dialects are:
-
-* `en-us` (US English)  
-* `es-la` (Latin American Spanish)
-
-e.g.

-	dictdialect en-us

-This means that any words or rules which are made with `_^_EN` will be
-spoken with the US English voice instead of the default UK English
-voice.

 Additional attributes are available to set various internal options
 which control how language is processed. These would normally be set in
 the program code rather than in a voice file.
