Abstract
AbstractAcoustic, Phonetic and accented variations play an important role in pronunciation assessment of different languages uttered by speakers. In this paper, we consider the pronunciation assessment of vowels of North Indian Hindi, Indian English and American English uttered by varying subjects. Indian English is a language spoken in the India as a second language. It is highly influenced by variety of Native Indian languages as well as usage, cultural, regional, social and educational background. It is observed that Indian speakers tends to speak English phonemes close to the articulation of their native language rather than that of the American English. This paper contributes towards the contrastive study of vowel triangles and the appearance of the closeness of vowel cardinal space (ɑ, i, u) of Hindi, Indian English and American English using distance formula.
