Automatic Language Identification Using Telephone Speech

Automatic language identification is the problem of identifying the language being spoken from a sample of speech by an unknown speaker. Within seconds of hearing speech, people are able to determine whether it is a language they know. If it is a language with which they are not familiar, they often can make subjective judgments as to its similarity to a language they know, e.g., “sounds like German”.
