I would suggest "Just Plain Perl." I wrote several programs that did simple sound changes which were less than five lines each. Each operated on an input file of words and produced an output file of sound-changed words. Learning the subset of Perl which would allow you to do this would probably be as easy as learning how to use any program that did it for you.
