It's even more complicated than that: Some voices DO speak multiple languages, e.g. the German voice "Anna" (downloaded from System Preferences) speaks excellent German, English, Spanish, Italian, and French:

   say -v Anna 'über allen Wipfeln ist Ruh'
   say -v Anna '[[lang fr_FR]] que restet-il de nos amours'
   say -v Anna '[[lang it_IT]] chi nasce asino non muore cavallo'
   say -v Anna '[[lang es_SP]] nosotros tenemos mas influencia  con sus hijos que su tiene'
   say -v Anna '[[lang en_UK]] are we having fun yet?'

No, it doesn't speak Italian, for one 'chi' is pronounced like 'she' and not like 'ki'.

Hm, do you know how many speak languages that aren't "ascii"?
