Abstract: This paper focuses on the linguistic problems, when modelling the speech production. Most of the speech
production algorithms, widely used in the practise, are developed in the early 70-ties. Moreover, when these
algorithms were sophisticated in the 80-ties and 90-ties, the made the assumption, that the speaker speaks an
Indo-European language, and more specific an Anglo-Saxon language. The paper throws some light on the
linguistic problems when modelling the speech production of a speaker, which speaks a non-Indo-European
language, such as Uralic or Altaic one. The paper presents new algorithms for speech production modelling,
which are completely independent of the language, which the speaker is speaking, and are with accordance
with computational power the state of the art computer systems.
