Abstract

Language Identification has gained significant importance in recent years, both in research and commercial market place, demanding an improvement in the ability of machines to distinguish languages. Although methods like Gaussian Mixture Models, Hidden Markov Models and Neural Networks are used for identifying languages the problem of language identification in noisy environments could not be addressed so far. This paper addresses the capability of an Automatic Language Identification (LID) system in clean and noisy environments. The language identification studies are performed using IITKGP-MLILSC (IIT Kharagpur-Multilingual Indian Language Speech Corpus) databases which consists of 27 languages.
