It is supposed to do something interesting, although the behavior is not as complex as with English.

As for the output you saw, I certainly can’t sing the result, but I aspire to be able to one day!

So am I expected to pronounce them in the correct pitch as well? Does it try to produce “interesting” (non-white-noise) music?

To figure out how to pronounce the words that you see result there, you could take a look at:

Is it supposed to break up words like that, or is it a bug?
