  • Abstract
    This paper presents some speaker recognition experiments using a bilingual speakers set (49), in two different languages: Spanish and Catalan. Phonetically there are significant differences between both languages. These differences have let us to establish several conclusions on the relevance of language in speaker recognition, using two methods: vector quantization and covariance matrices.
