The concept of analyzing speech rhythm using amplitude modulation (AM) low-frequency (LF) spectrum, also known as rhythm formant analysis (RFA), is initially put forth by\u00a0Gibbon and Li [\n            <jats:xref ref-type=\"bibr\">17<\/jats:xref>\n            ]. We propose three features from rhythm formants of the LF spectrum and also explore discrete cosine transform (DCT)\u2013based characterization of the retrieved LF spectrum. We aim to distinguish the rhythm of Assamese and two Mising dialects, namely Pagro and Delu, with the aid of machine learning techniques fed with the derived features as input. We have observed that the features are efficient in classifying Assamese vs Pagro and Assamese vs Delu with an accuracy of 92.73% and 91.15%, respectively. The experimental analysis further reveals that Assamese is rhythmically closer to Delu than Pagro.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3694785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,4]],"date-time":"2024-09-04T11:37:13Z","timestamp":1725449833000},"page":"1-18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Cross-linguistic rhythm analysis of Mising and Assamese"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2239-3584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Parismita","family":"Gogoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, India and DUIET, Dibrugarh University, Dibrugarh, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9051-1255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priyankoo","family":"Sarmah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8135-7938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.
