Eric is quite right about SOUNDX. It is Anglo-Amnerican and is taken from
Don Knuth's <Art of Computer Programming>. It will probably mangle a lot
of non-English-like sounmds, but it is still probably better than having
*no* sound-matching at all.
The received wisdom is that a 7-char domain works best (actually not the
first 7 chars, nor the first 7 phonemes, but the first 7 voiced
consonants). This may be a bit too much if we want to match 22 languages.
If anyone has a better routine...
