Abstract

This chapter provides compendious reviews about both the explicit and implicit LID systems present in the literature. Existing works related to language identification in Indian context are briefly discussed. The related works about the excitation source features are also presented here. Various speech features and models proposed in the context of language identification are briefly reviewed in this chapter. The motivation for the present work from the existing literature is briefly discussed.
