IPA Lexicon — {language}

IPA pronunciation lexicon with stress marks, formatted for use with Kokoro TTS and other espeak-ng-trained speech synthesis models.

Format

Tab-separated values (TSV): word\tphonemes

Phonemes are space-separated IPA symbols with primary (ˈ) and secondary (ˌ) stress marks.

hola	ˈo l a
prueba	p ɾ u ˈe β a
español	ˌe s p a ɲ ˈo l

Usage

For Kokoro TTS, join phonemes by removing spaces. Move stress marks before syllable onsets for best results.

Source & Attribution

This lexicon was extracted from gruut by Michael Hansen (rhasspy), licensed under the MIT License.

Specifically, data comes from the espeak/lexicon.db files in the gruut-lang-* packages (v2.0.x). These contain IPA transcriptions with stress marks generated via espeak-ng.

Licensing Note

gruut (framework): MIT License
gruut-lang-* (data packages): Published under the gruut project (MIT), but the espeak/ subdirectory contains phonemizations generated by espeak-ng (GPL v3). The legal status of bulk phonemization output from a GPL tool is debated — it may or may not constitute a derivative work depending on jurisdiction.
This redistribution: Provided as-is under the same terms as the gruut project. Users should evaluate GPL compliance for their own use case.
