Abstract

Language identification (LID) based on phono-tactic modeling is presented in this paper. Approaches using phoneme strings and strings of units automatically derived by  an Ergodic HMM (EHMM)  are compared. The  phoneme recognizers were trained on 6  languages from OGI multi-language-corpus and Czech SpeechDat-E. The LID results are obtained on 4 languages. The results show superiority of Czech phoneme recognizer while used in LID and promising trends using
the EHMM-derived units.
