Dear Igor,

please refer to the FeatureProcessorManager class, i.e. http://mary.opendfki.de/browser/trunk/java/marytts/features/FeatureProcessorManager.java?rev=2262&marks=72-91#L70. Despite being deprecated, the setupHardcodedPhoneFeatureValues() method is commented well enough to serve as a rough guide to the allophone definition. For the phonetic background, you could consult e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel.

Best wishes,
