Abstract:   An account of speech systems implemented in three tonal languages of North East India is presented here. Angami, Ao, and Mizo are under-resourced languages of the Tibeto-Burman language family, spoken in North-East of India. The distribution of tones across the three languages vary from three to four tones. Automatic Speech Recognition systems were developed for Angami and Mizo languages using Kaldi toolkit. The performances of various versions of the system using different types of acoustic models (GMM-HMM, SGMM and DNN) are reported. In Ao, a dialect identification system was built that distinguishes two Ao dialects, namely, Changki and Mongsen.
