Synthesis of Kannada Isolated Consonant-Vowel Coarticulations using Formant Synthesizer

Formant analysis of various sound units play an important role in developing a functional Formant Synthesizer. This paper presents the result of formant analysis made on 15 different consonants occuring in context of 10 vowels and 2 diphthongs of Kannada language. The results were used to generate isolated Consonant-Vowel Coarticulations using Klatt like Formant Synthesizer.
