Abstract

Words can be categorized into different types according to the position of occurrences of vowels and consonants in it. Accordingly we have CV (Consonant-Vowel), VC (Vowel-Consonant), and CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant), CVCC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Consonant), CVVC (Consonant-Vowel-Vowel-Consonant etc type of words in most of the languages. As a first step towards the recognition of any speech signal, it is very much important to study the different types of words using some of the available techniques. Some of the approach which produces reliable and good results are Formant Frequency measure, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) etc. In this paper, a step has been taken to measure the formant frequency of CV type Bodo words to identify the distinct features of it. Formant Frequency, based on Formant Tracking Model can be defined as the spectral peak of the sound spectrum |P(f)|.
