Brian,

I guess 10.7 (Lion) is too old for non-English-language voices. You'll need
to stick to English and use one of the older voices.

   2!:1 'say -v ?'
…gives a list of installed voices and the language each one speaks. It's
all very cute giving them names, but you're expected to know that Sara
speaks Danish, and Sin-ji speaks Hong Kong Chinese.

Here's some I once used a lot (great for error conditions during
development when smoutput is unavailable or inappropriate)…

   2!:1 'say -v Alex The time is 09:30 PM'

   2!:1 'say -v zarvox User not an intelligent life-form'

   2!:1 'say -v trinoids There is chaumurky in your coffee!'

I can play with the Darwin speech synthesizer for hours, without getting
any work done.
