Abstract :
This paper aims at assessing the automatic labeling of an undocumented, unknown and underresourced unwritten language (Mo Piu) of the North Vietnam, by an expert phonetician. For this task, we chose 5 languages in different combinations in order to highlight the best set. Two assessments will be presented, first, that of the phonetic events, and secondly that of the languages sets. After the presentation of the methods used for the automatic labeling and recognition, the paper will focus on the assessment of the phonetic units and of the languages sets.
