Abstract
A speech recognition system uses language independent acoustic models derived from speech data from multiple languages to represent speech units which are concatenated into words. In addition, the input speech signal which is compared to the language independent acoustic models may be vector quantized according to a codebook which is derived from speech data from multiple languages.
