Hi,

Creating a question file is essentially equivalent to creating a front-end for your new language. This is no small task.

In order to create meaningful questions, you need to extract features that you can ask questions about. That includes pronunciation of words, sentence analysis etc.

Please see how other frontends create their feture extraction, and once you understand that you'll understand how to create a questions file.

Systems with frontends you could look at include Festival, MaryTTS, OpenJTalk, Flite and many others.

Good luck!
