ESpeak-ng: speech synthesizer with more than one hundred languages and accents
After some brief research it seems the issue you're seeing may be a known bug in at least some versions/release of espeak-ng.
Here's some potentially related links if you'd like to dig deeper:

IAMA senior javascript dev, ask me anything
I'm skeptical about a senior JavaScript developer claiming to be bored. Nonetheless, let's see. How would you go about modifying [this](ng/blob/master/emscripten/espeakng_glue.idl) IDL file, this C++ glue code, and the relevant Make file to compile eSpeak NG to JavaScript with Emscripten with SSML support enabled?

Is there a good text to speech program for linux?
eSpeak NG supports running on Linux, BSD, Mac, Android, Windows, has been compiled to WASM with Emscripten. See also espeak and meSpeak.js.

Vietnamese Phonology
I may have a solution, BUT I'm at an airport right now, so... Perhaps tonight I can give you some ideas. There is a program I used to make a few presets for myself. https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/languages.md

[P] Balacoon: Fastest neural text-to-speech on CPU
For this one, I used espeak (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng) as a text processor. It is almost 17 years old software and is pretty lacking, unfortunately. On the other hand, it's super fast and supports tens of languages. Long story short, punctuation introduces phrase break with a pause of fixed length, and capitalization is ignored.

Balacoon: python package for text-to-speech
I didnt not release trainy parts to build voices. I am considering, but there is so many packages already (coqui, espnet, piper, nemo, fairseq to name a few) that i focused on usability for now. Support for new languages is a different question. Everyone wants to train fancy neural nets. But support for new language is about writing rules and having language expertise. I did it for English (https://github.com/balacoon/en_us_normalization/tree/c1019cf878aa6baf25d6fff719cf418cca5a3107/production/classify). Doing it for all the other languages would probably take me a lifetime. Other speech synthesis solutions use 17-years old espeak for this purpose (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/languages.md). I introduced the fallback to it in Balacoon too. But generally, it is outdated technology and I believe we should do better.

Is there a good audio-to-IPA phone app that doesn’t assume a particular language?
espeak-ng works by first converting text to IPA and then pronouncing that. But im not sure im aware of a way to input arbitrary IPA, and also the quality is probably too low for you.

I Created A Web Speech API NPM Package Called SpeechKit
There are espeak-ng https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng and pocketsphinx https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx which can be used locally without making external requests.
-
Which languages have readily available IPA equivalents to learn from?
There are automatic tools to convert a written form of a language to IPA, I'm personally aware of espeak-ng, which supports* a lot of languages.
-
Ask HN: Are there any good open source Text-to-Speech tools?
I've had good luck with https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng (for very specific purposes, and I was willing to wrangle IPA)

Handling dates in JavaScript with Tempo
Even with the initial pitfalls of JavaScript dates, the ecosystem managed to tackle those challenges with good libraries. Some use the native JavaScript date while others have instead created their own robust tools to make up for the quirks JavaScript dates might have. With the JavaScript Temporal API about to roll out, working with dates and time in JavaScript will only improve.
