### Gemination

__NOTE:__ The `foncxs` and `fonkirsh` variant names are not defined in the
[IANA language subtag registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry).
Instead, they are private use extensions defined in the
[bcp47-data](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espeak-ng/bcp47-data/master/bcp47-extensions)
project.
Gemination is found in several languages including Italian and Japanese.
It is also present in the suprasegmental phonology between words such as
"lamppost" and "evenness".

## Consonants
Some linguists use the [long](#length) suprasegmental for geminate consonants.
The eSpeak NG convention is to use consonant length for [phonation](#phonation)
when consonant length is distinct without gemination occurring.

The way gemination is represented in eSpeak NG is to duplicate the phonemes,
with the first phoneme using the `unx` feature. For example, n̚.n for a
geminated n. This describes how with the `stp` and `nas` consonants, the
mouth remains closed (`unx`) for the first of the geminated consonants.

### Phonation

| Feature | Symbol | Name |
|---------|--------|-----------------|
| `brv` | ◌̤ | breathy voice |
| `slv` | ◌̥ | slack voice |
| `stv` | ◌̬ | stiff voice |
| `crv` | ◌̰ | creaky voice |
| `glc` | ʔ͡◌ | glottal closure |

The IPA ◌̥ diacritic is also used to fill the `vls` spaces in the IPA consonant
charts. Thus, when ◌̥ is used with a `vcd` consonant that does not have an
equivalent `vls` consonant, the resulting consonant is `vls`, not `slv`.
