Are there any open-source phoneme sets (for speech synthesis)?

Question

I am trying to make a super basic speech synthesizer, and I need some form of phoneme audio files so that I can piece them together and build words. Are there any open phoneme sets that I would be able to use for this?

I ended up recording myself with Audacity and splitting it up into individual phonemes. — SilentLupin, Jul 14 '14 at 20:09

This may be more than you're looking for, but have you checked into http://www.vocaloid.com/en/ by any chance? There are many speech products on the market. You might also be interested in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh361572(v=office.14).aspx

I have vocaloid, but I am looking for a bunch of separate sound files. I'll take a look at the microsoft speech stuff, but I don't think it will be what I need. – SilentLupin Nov 07 '13 at 04:49

For super basic speech synthesizer it's worth to check espeak http://espeak.sourceforge.net, it's better than to glue sound files together.
