Something I've wondered for the last three years...

[Grumps]

[Sigmund451]

thats a long time to wonder.

I've asked Harri, himself. Let's see if I can find what he said ...

Ah. Found it.

Finnish language is a phonetic language and is very easy for voice synthesis. Every letter is always pronounced, and always the same way regardless of surrounding letters.

Needless to say that Finnish grammar is maybe difficult, but very systematic - an engineer's dream.
