Comparative Analysis of Vowels, Diphthongs and Glides of Sindhi
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sindhi language is primarily spoken in the Sindh province of Pakistan, and in some parts of India. Languages phonemic inventory include vowels, consonants and diphthongs. This paper presents acoustic analysis and properties of the glide consonants of Sindhi. Glides are considered having stable and predictable formant structure and associated acoustic properties like vowels and diphthongs. Understanding the corresponding acoustic similarities, differences and relationship between three types of these sounds is the subject of discussion of this paper.

Speaker verification based on broad phonetic categories
In this work we present a speaker verification system based on 4 broad phonetic categories: vowels+diphthongs, fricatives, glides+nasals, and silence+stops. Using these categories separately, it is observed that vowels, diphthongs, and fricatives are the most important categories for speaker verification. This observation confirms the results from the analysis of speaker and channel variability...
متن کاملVowels and Diphthongs in the Taiyuan Jin Chinese Dialect
On the basis of an acoustic phonetic analysis of monophthongs and diphthongs, this paper describes vowel phonology in the Taiyuan Jin dialect. The results show that Taiyuan has a comparable but different vowel inventory for C(G)V versus C(G)VN syllables. And the vowel contrast is dramatically reduced in checked syllables. The asymmetry between falling and rising diphthongs suggests a dynamic ac...
متن کاملAn Acoustical Analysis of the Vowels, Diphthongs and Triphthongs in Hakka Chinese
The study is a phonetic analysis of the vowels, diphthongs and triphthongs in Meixian Hakka. The formant measurements as well as the temporal organization are presented. Results show that (1) the relative distance between the mid vowels and the high vowels differ in male and female speech in Meixian Hakka; (2) diphthongs in Meixian Hakka may be separated into two categories according to the dif...
متن کاملModelling and ranking of differences across formants of british, australian and american accents
The differences between formants of British, Australian and American English accents are analysed and ranked. An improved formant model based on linear prediction (LP) feature analysis and a two-dimensional(2D) hidden Markov model (HMM) of formants is employed for estimation of the formant frequencies and bandwidths of vowels and diphthongs. Comparative analysis of the formant trajectories, the...
