This commit implements support for [Totontepec Mixe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totontepec_Mixe). The Espeak rules are based on the phonological inventory, orthographic mappings, and phonetic processes described in the "Esbozo fonológico" (phonological outline/sketch) chapter of Verónica Guzmán Guzmán's 2012 master's thesis in Indo American Linguistics awarded by the [Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social](https://ciesas.edu.mx/) and *Vocabulario Mixe de Totontepec* (Totontepec Mixe vocabulary), compiled by Alvin Schoenhals and Louise C. Schoenhals and published by the Summer Institute of Linguistics in 1965.
This commit was developed as part of a project for [Computational Linguistics](https://jnw.domains.swarthmore.edu/ling073/syllabus.php) at [Swarthmore College](https://swarthmore.edu). We feel that this language is suitable for merge with "testing" status, but further verification/improvements by native speakers would be very helpful.

Noticed build failure on NixOS when built package with 'make -j16':
build flags: -j16 -l16 SHELL=bash
Makefile:2844: warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/espeak-ng'

cd dictsource && ESPEAK_DATA_PATH=/build/espeak-ng LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../src: ../src/espeak-ng --compile=yue && cd ..
bash: line 1: ../src/espeak-ng: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:3546: espeak-ng-data/yue_dict] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/espeak-ng'
make: *** [Makefile:831: all] Error 2
The fix is to add dependency on 'espeak-ng' similar to other rules.
For ⟨ae⟩, we used to use the Latin [[aI]] phoneme, which sounds like
/ae/. Call that phoneme [[aE]] for us and introduce a separate [[aI]]
one, which sounds more like /ai/ (since Sindarin has both, and they’re
supposed to sound different, though Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings
notes that there is nothing closely corresponding to ⟨ae⟩ in English and
that it may be pronounced like ⟨ai⟩). Furthermore, for ⟨oe⟩, just remove
the TODO – the Latin phoneme is called [[OI]] but sounds more like /oe/
than /oi/, so it’s actually just fine for our purposes. Finally, the
⟨ui⟩ diphthong is copied from Finnish, just like in Quenya.
Both are copied from the Finnish phonemes, since Finnish was a major
inspiration for Quenya. This means that the ⟨iu⟩ diphthong is a
“falling” one – according to Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings, this
is the original pronunciation, but by the Third Age (the time in which
The Lord of the Rings is set) it had become a “rising” one, so I may
change the phoneme later, not sure.
This prepares the languages of Quenya and Sindarin, setting up their
infrastructure without declaring a lot of rules yet – just enough for
“Eä” (a Quenya word, but I can’t think of a similarly simple one for
Sindarin). Phonemes are inherited from Esperanto for now.
Found with the following script:
for file in phsource/ph_*; do
grep -qF "$file" Makefile.am || echo "$file missing!";
done
I’ve left out one of the files highlighted by that script: ph_burmese
exists, but isn’t actually used by phsource/phonemes (there’s no
`include` directive for it).
- fix a buffer overflow in ucd_tolower leading to failure when
compiling with address sanitizer
- force the use of C++ compiler for espeak-ng
- adding a malloc to have a null-terminated string in the fuzz target
- setting (but not overwriting) ESPEAK_DATA_PATH environment
variable inside the fuzz target
And simplify the _dict pattern rule. If a build had completed in the
directory before and "make distclean" had not been run ??_dict
dictionaries still existed, if one of these was rebuilt espeak-ng
loaded the old (out of date) one first resulting in inconsistent
execution of the build the second time round. The change removes the
target before building it thus ensuring that old, possibly damaged, data
is not used.
I also changed the extraction of the language code; the GNU make %
(pattern) extension along with the long-standing $* extension (which
precedes GNU make) allow the match to the '%' to be used directly in the
command line. The cd .. at the end of the command is unnecessary; make
(all versions) execute each command line using a single system() call,
so the cd never happens inside make.

Soundicons are used for external audio with SSML <audio> tag and for
replacing punctuation names with sound files in LoadConfig().
Currently there's a bug wih soundicon slots: if both LoadConfig and
<audio> are used, the punctuation reserves all slots and no sound from
<audio> is played.
