Triphone Statistics for Polish Language

The Polish text corpus was analysed to find information about phoneme statistics. We were especially interested in triphones as they are commonly used in many speech processing applications like HTK speech recogniser. An attempt to create the full list of triphones for Polish language is presented. A vast amount of phonetically transcribed text was analysed to obtain the frequency of triphone occurrences. A distibution of frequency of triphones occuring and other phenomena are presented. The standard phonetic alphabet for Polish and methods of providing phonetic transcriptions are described.
