    Description

    The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for language identification tasks. The entire GlobalPhone corpus enables the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge of the following 22 spoken languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian (ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai (ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French (ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese (ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese (Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America) (ELRA-S0203), Swahili (ELRA-S0375), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai (ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Ukrainian (ELRA-S0377), and Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).In each language about 100 sentences were read from each of the 100 speakers. The read texts were selected from national newspapers available via Internet to provide a large vocabulary. The read articles cover national and international political news as well as economic news. The speech is available in 16bit, 16kHz mono quality, recorded with a close-speaking microphone (Sennheiser 440-6). The transcriptions are internally validated and supplemented by special markers for spontaneous effects like stuttering, false starts, and non-verbal effects like laughing and hesitations. Speaker information like age, gender, occupation, etc. as well as information about the recording setup complement the database. The entire GlobalPhone corpus contains over 450 hours of speech spoken by more than 2100 native adult speakers.Data is shortened by means of the shorten program written by Tony Robinson. Alternatively, the data could be delivered unshorten.The Vietnamese part of GlobalPhone was collected in summer 2009. In total 160 speakers were recorded, 140 of them in the cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, and an additional set of 20 speakers were recorded in Karlsruhe, Germany. All speakers are Vietnamese native speakers, covering the main dialectal variants from South and North Vietnam. Of these 160 speakers, 70 were female and 90 were male. The majority of speakers are well educated, being graduated students and engineers. The age distribution of the speakers ranges from 18 to 65 years. Each speaker read between 50 and 200 utterances from newspaper articles, corresponding to roughly 9.5 minutes of speech or 138 utterances per person, in total we recorded 22.112 utterances. The speech was recorded using a close-talking microphone Sennheiser HM420 in a push-to-talk scenario using an inhouse developed modern laptop-based data collection toolkit. All data were recorde...

    While English is the official language, it is typically used for governmental, business, and media purposes. In day to day life most people in the country speak Krio, which is a style of Pidgin English or English-based creole language. Krio is the lingua franco for the country and the formal language for those who do not speak English. With the number of different ethnic groups, Krio unites these groups with a common language. The citizens who are fluent in English are among the elite minority and often experience privileges such as economic opportunities that non-English speakers are excluded from. Other common indigenous languages used in the country are Mende, Temne, and Limba. As the official language, English is the only language used in education. It is reported that school children who speak indigenous languages on school premises are punished. Students who fail English classes are not granted admission into college.

The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) regularly publishes a list of endangered languages, using a classification system that describes its danger (or completion) of extinction.

    Content

    The full detailed dataset includes names of languages, number of speakers, the names of countries where the language is still spoken, and the degree of endangerment. The UNESCO endangerment classification is as follows:

    • Vulnerable: most children speak the language, but it may be restricted to certain domains (e.g., home)
    • Definitely endangered: children no longer learn the language as a 'mother tongue' in the home
    • Severely endangered: language is spoken by grandparents and older generations; while the parent generation may understand it, they do not speak it to children or among themselves
    • Critically endangered: the youngest speakers are grandparents and older, and they speak the language partially and infrequently
    • Extinct: there are no speakers left

    • How can you best visualize this data?
    • Which rare languages are more isolated (Sicilian, for example) versus more spread out? Can you come up with a hypothesis for why that is the case?
    • Can you compare the number of rare speakers with more relatable figures? For example, are there more Romani speakers in the world than there are residents in a small city in the United States?

    Description

    The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for language identification tasks. The entire GlobalPhone corpus enables the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge of the following 22 spoken languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian (ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai (ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French (ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese (ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese (Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America) (ELRA-S0203), Swahili (ELRA-S0375), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai (ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Ukrainian (ELRA-S0377), and Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).In each language about 100 sentences were read from each of the 100 speakers. The read texts were selected from national newspapers available via Internet to provide a large vocabulary. The read articles cover national and international political news as well as economic news. The speech is available in 16bit, 16kHz mono quality, recorded with a close-speaking microphone (Sennheiser 440-6). The transcriptions are internally validated and supplemented by special markers for spontaneous effects like stuttering, false starts, and non-verbal effects like laughing and hesitations. Speaker information like age, gender, occupation, etc. as well as information about the recording setup complement the database. The entire GlobalPhone corpus contains over 450 hours of speech spoken by more than 2100 native adult speakers.Data is shortened by means of the shorten program written by Tony Robinson. Alternatively, the data could be delivered unshorten.The Japanese corpus was produced using the Nikkei Shinbun newspaper. It contains recordings of 149 speakers (104 males, 44 females, 1 unspecified) recorded in Tokyo, Japan. The following age distribution has been obtained: 22 speakers are below 19, 90 speakers are between 20 and 29, 5 speakers are between 30 and 39, 2 speakers are between 40 and 49, and 1 speaker is over 50 (28 speakers age is unknown).

    Globalization and Internationalization to Provide Viable Market Output
    

    A significant market driver for language services has been globalization. Communication in various languages is becoming increasingly important as firms grow internationally. The expansion of international trade, e-commerce, and cross-border investments all contribute to this trend. Companies must translate, localize, and adapt their products and services to local languages and cultures to remain competitive in the global market.

    There are approximately 7,139 languages spoken in the world today. However, many of these languages are endangered, with experts estimating that around 40% of languages are at risk of extinction.

    (Source:www.ohchr.org/en/stories/2019/10/many-indigenous-languages-are-danger-extinction)

    Multinational corporations with diverse workforces and clients from various language backgrounds have become popular due to globalization. These enterprises rely on translation services to eliminate language barriers to guarantee efficient internal communication and seamless relations with external parties. Language solutions, including document, website, and marketing material translation and conference and meeting interpretation services, greatly aid international collaboration and understanding.

    Factors Restraining Growth of the Language Services Market

    Machine Translation Limitations to Hinder Market Growth
    

    The constraints of machine translation constrain the language services market. While machine translation quality has increased due to technological developments in AI, especially for complicated or specialized information, it still falls short of human translation in accuracy and nuance. The context and idiomatic idioms that machine translation systems frequently struggle with might cause translations to sound uncomfortable or inaccurate to native speakers. This restriction is especially important for fields like law, medicine, and marketing, where accuracy and cultural appropriateness are key.

    How COVID-19 Impacted the Language Services Market?

    To reach a worldwide audience, the pandemic drove digital transformation and remote labor, driving up demand for translation and localization services. Translations in the medical and scientific fields increased as information sharing became essential. Travel restrictions hampered on-site interpreting services simultaneously, increasing the demand for remote interpreting services. Due to the pandemic's emphasis on efficient intercultural communication, businesses, the medical community, and governments have all prioritized language services to enable proper information flow and support during the crisis What is Language Services?

    Language services means it is a professional service used for communication and understanding between different cultural groups. It facilitates effective comm...
