This PR adds support for Shavian, a phonemic alphabet for English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet (Unicode U+10450–U+1047F; ISO 15924 - Shaw)
It correctly pronounces most English words, except sometimes it misplaces the word stress. All checks are passing.
There are many Shavian communities online; I wanted to join in without excluding people using screen readers.
If needed, this website has more resources: https://shavian.info/
Screenshot of GNOME terminal, showing the difference between phonemes in "This is an example sentence in the Shavian alphabet", and the same sentence but for Latin
