| Abstract | Arabic Language Processing is gaining increasing importance all around the world. This language is spoken by nearly 300 millions in the Arab World, and is an interesting language for the 1.3 billion Muslims. Arabic is becoming also a focal point of interest in many universities all around the world. The positive aspect of this interest in Arabic -which was relatively ignored when compared with other live languages-, is the intensive work on language technologies, and an increasing amount of digital contents on the Internet. Arabic Language is one of the most promoted research axis in HIAST since its foundation in 1983 (Ghneim & Al-Dakkak, 2006). In the introduction of this paper, we mention the most relevant works, in both speech and text aspects, which can be of interest in many applications, and can be a subject of resource sharing. In the second section we detail our acoustic database of semi-syllables and in the third one we develop our morphological analyzer. |
