Rob,
Since nobody has responded to your question, I'll give you a rather simple
answer and maybe somebody will respond with more knowledge.
I think Soundex proper relates to English, and this is what Oracle has
implemented. But the idea and the algorithm are pretty simple. A quick
Google search reveals that people have worked to adapt the idea to other
languages.
If you state the language you are interested in, maybe you can get connected
with someone who has information on language of interest.
