Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

#12952 makes ESpeak completely unusable for Chinese users. This is a disaster for beginners who cannot use Windows OneCore.

Describe the solution you'd like

After testing, setting the voice role of ESpeak NG to "Chinese (Mandarin, latin as Pinyin)" can temporarily solve #12952 .
The word "temporarily" is used because the English pronunciation of "Chinese (Mandarin, latin as Pinyin" is less vivid than the current default "Chinese (Mandarin, latin as English)".
But this solution can get rid of the dilemma of not being able to use ESpeak NG at all.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The best solution is to solve #1028 by ESpeak.
Make "Chinese (Mandarin, latin as English)" can speak Chinese correctly.

Additional context.

I think this question is urgent enough, especially for beginners of nvda.
