Abstract

Speech recognition is getting popularity day by day, as it plays a remarkable role in the field of human–computer communication (HCC). Due to the inclusion of speech recognition feature in the latest operating systems, its importance has been increased many folds. Although a lot of work has been conducted in English, the other languages have not yet been completely explored as far as speech research is concerned. In the present paper, a major language of northeast India, the Bodo language, has been studied in terms of monophthong sounds present in it, using formant frequency based on LPC. The study reveals a number of facts which will be helpful in the speech and speaker recognition.
