How do I build a language model for Tamil in Kaldi?

[Kaushik Ramachandran]

I’m trying to use Kaldi to build a speech recognition system for Tamil Language. Can anyone tell me the procedure to build a language model for other languages such as Tamil? I already built a phonetic dictionary for Words-to-Phones conversion.

Given enough text data and computational resources, you can build a LM using SRILM toolkit. An example script can be found in egs/babel. See  egs/babel/s5/local/train_lms_srilm.sh

Can u tell me how can we build Phonetic dictionary? like is it a editable file s dat we can directly edit and make dictionary?

Phonetic dictionary is rather an application/program that maps each word with its phoneme expansion. You can actually build one by using any scripting language like python by writing your own rules which defines the morphology of your language.
