Phonetic Modeling of Dialectal Variation in Vietnamese Speech
arXiv CS.CL
•
ArXi:2605.24451v1 Announce Type: new Vietnamese exhibits substantial dialectal phonetic variation across Northern, Central, and Southern regions, where identical lexical items may be realized with markedly different pronunciations. Such variation poses challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and remains difficult to model computationally due to the complex relationship between Vietnamese orthography and phonology.
