The pronunciation of esperanto is indeed perfectly deterministic, and you actually have a bijection between sounds and letters. But infortunately, this language is not ascii-encodable, as it uses specific letters (ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ). That being said, they can be written as ch or cx, which would solve the issue.
