I need help creating a lexicon for SpeechSynthesizer. A template of some kind so i can know how to create one

Question

More or less what the title says. I wish to create a lexicon of greek text to speech so I can make my language for SpeechSynthesizer. Where can I find a template of some kind?? Or some guidelines???? Or anything you can possibly offer is acceptable as there is no greek suppport in SpeechSynthesizer. But i need it to be my own creation. Not some third party app. SDKs, header files, libraries, apis all accepted. Just no ready apps that have greek text to speech

Here is a sample with only 1 word (blue).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<lexicon version="1.0" 
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon"
      alphabet="x-microsoft-ups" xml:lang="en-US">


  <lexeme>
    <grapheme> blue </grapheme>
    <phoneme> B L I P </phoneme>
  </lexeme>

</lexicon>
