      AFAIK you can train for any language for which you have a dictionary and a phoneset.  You can use any dictionary and phoneset you like, or make your own: just make sure all the words in your transcriptions are in the dictionary, and all the phones in your dictionary are in your phoneset (.transcription, .dic and .phone files should all be in a particular format too, as specified in the docs or look at the turtle ones).

      The error you report is caused by not having the phone N in your .phone file.  You should have sth like:

      .dic
      ...
      araa     ae r ae N ae
      ...

      .phone
      ...
      ae
      N
      r
      ...

      Hope this helps
