As far as I can remember, ConTeXt differs from ISO 639 with ancient Greek.

What ConTeXt considers `agr` is `grc` for ISO 639.

As for other languages, which is the file that has the complete list of
languages and its tagging values?

Well, I can check that indirectly (not by Acrobat reading it aloud, but
with https://ngpdf.com).

Linux doesn’t have Acrobat Reader available and the only Windows machine
I have access to seems to have no working read aloud feature in Acrobat
Reader.

This happened to me with one of the “Invidious” (a YT alternative
front-end) instances (it might be https://yewtu.be).

About two months ago, I started having English-speaking videos
automatically synched into Spanish (by some kind of AI). The voice
sounded completely mechanic (and the also changed gender [from female to
male, in my case]).

I think the selective implementation would make more sense, especially
when the selection could later include more items (as required/needed by
users).

BTW, besides alternative and actual text we need to implement `/E`
(expansion of acronyms and abbreviations).

If we already have `\definesynonyms`, it may be only adding proper
taggig for it (even when no `\placelist[synonyms]` is invoked in the
document).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
