Russian, recognized by the ISO code ru-RU, is a widely spoken language. It is the predominant language in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. In its native script, it is referred to as "русский язык" (russkiy yazyk).

Russian stands out due to its unique phonetic and grammatical features. With its distinct grammar, rich phonetics, and articulate sounds, it differs from many other languages. Specifically, it includes a range of unique sounds, adding depth and variety to its pronunciation. Below are some key pronunciation features of the Russian language that are crucial for accurate speech synthesis:

Alphabet in Use: Russian uses the Cyrillic script, which differs from the Latin script found in many other languages. Each letter corresponds to a specific sound.

Consonant Characteristics: Russian consonants can be either "hard" or "soft," which affects their pronunciation. For example, the "б" sound in "быт” is soft, whereas in "бот," it is hard.

Consonant Clusters: Russian words often feature consecutive consonants, making it essential for speech synthesis to reproduce these clusters accurately without inserting extra vowel sounds.

Stress: Word stress in Russian is mobile and significantly influences vowel pronunciation. For instance, the word "замок" means "castle" when stressed on the first syllable but "lock" when stressed on the last.

Vowel Reduction: In unstressed syllables, vowels often undergo reduction, altering their pronunciation. For example, the unstressed "o" is typically pronounced as "a."

These linguistic characteristics are essential for generating speech that is not only comprehensible but also natural and authentic to native Russian speakers. Our tool captures the essence of the language and its speech patterns.
