Actual behavior:.
If you use speechSynthesis.pause() with Japanese speech, the paused state is maintained for about 2 seconds and then cannot be resumed by speechSynthesis.resume().

Expected behavior:.
The paused state is maintained and can be resumed by speechSynthesis.resume() at any time.

I have attached a sample file.

To reproduce it, please follow these steps.

---

Steps:
1. Press the speak button.
2. Press the pause button.
3. Wait more than 2 seconds.
4. Press the resume button.

Thanks for filing, I have so far been unable to reproduce this issue on Safari beta Version 14.0.1 or Safari Technology Preview 114 Safari 14.1. 

Does this still reproduce for you on STP?

Edit: I had not selected a Japanese system voice under System Preferences > Accessibility > Spoken Content > System Voice.

After choosing the voice 'Kyoko' I can reproduce this on both 14.0.1 and 14.1.
