Abstract

Bangla, a language of nearly 300 million people around the world, begun 11 century AD and originated from a dialect commonly known as Prakrit. Bangla Phoneme production and perception plays a central role in computer speech analysis, synthesis and recognition of Bangla. It is worth noting that there has not been much study accomplished for Bangla Computational Phonetics. In this paper we have discussed speech production mechanism along with the linguistics classification in contrast to English and emphasized on Bangla phoneme processing and classification criteria for computer analysis and synthesis of Bangla speech. The distinction between vowel and consonant is also discussed both from the context of linguistics as well as computer processing point of view. The phoneme perception plays an important role in the classification of phonemes. Besides, the paper also covers discussion on the phonemes and their variations in contextual speech production.
