Nonlinear Spectral Characteristics of Rabha and Bodo Phonemes –––A Comparative Study

Dr. Nityananda Barman

Abstract :

Linguistically, both Rabha and Bodo language belongs to the Tibeto Burman family–a sub group of Sino Tibetan family of languages.Speech is a nonlinear phenomenon. The information provided by the Pitch analysis is not enough to ascertain the degree of nonlinearity present in the pronunciation of vowels. In this paper we propose a faster method of classification approach using matrix method of polynomial fitting to identify the degree of nonlinearity of the Rabha and Bodo vowels. In this paper the formant analysis through LPC (Linear Predictive Coding) analysis of Rabha and Bodo Vowels have been presented. The speech signals used here are vowels uttered by male and female speakers of both Rabha and Bodo language.
