Abstract

This chapter introduces the basic goal of language identification (LID) and its impacts on real-life applications. A brief overview of the basic features used for developing LID systems has been given and different categories of LID systems are also discussed here. Eventually, the primary issues in developing LID systems and the major contributions of this book towards solving those issues have been highlighted.
