Once upon a time was the version "newfon" under "linux". But with the 
version under "linux" there was something wrong. I do not remember 
exactly what this version "newfon" had problems. It seems he was very 
dependent on "ubuntu".
In any case, version "newfon" under "linux" had disappeared. Alexey 
Sadovoy, if I am not mistaken, is no longer interested in the 
development of any software under "linux". In "newfon", indeed, have the 
support of the Ukrainian language; However, it is very poorly 
implemented. If I am not mistaken, a module for "NVDA", comes with a 
library that can be used for their own purposes. I do not think it makes 
sense to do something for the "linux", based on this library.

I use a speech synthesizer "ru_tts", which is very similar to "newfon". 
The developer of this synthesizer igor poretsky. This speech synthesizer 
is available as an executable file or as a library, from which you can 
build your own synthesizer (or, for example, a module for 
"speech-dispatcher"). All of these components are freely available.
I use "ru_tts", usually with constant speed and pitch parameters. So I 
would be quite enough support and command line :).
