The SSML specification contains the following warning about changing the language indication in midsentence [1]: [[ xml:lang is a defined attribute for the voice, speak, p, and s elements. For vocal rendering, a language change can have an effect on various other parameters (including gender, speed, age, pitch, etc.) which may be disruptive to the listener. There might even be unnatural breaks between language shifts. For this reason authors are encouraged to use the voice element to change the language. xml:lang is permitted on p and s only because it is common to change the language at those levels. ]] and continues: [[ Specifying xml:lang does not imply a change in voice, though this may indeed occur. When a given voice is unable to speak content in the indicated language, a new voice may be selected by the processor. To avoid a potential incongruity, the language change was not indicated in this example. ]] If you believe that the language in the SSML 1.0 specification differs in intent from the xml:lang definition in the XML 1.0 specification [2], the Voice Browser Working Group is currently collecting requirements for SSML 1.1.
