This approach has the advantage of modeling the behavior of the human speech apparatus rather than simply the speech sounds it generates. Accordingly, more natural phenomena can be elaborated. In this work, the TLM has been used to synthesize some voiced sounds in Arabic. The spectral properties of these sounds have been analyzed taking into account the glottal excitation, the number of modeling sections, the viscous friction, and the branching. Finally our results had compared with the results in previous literatures UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
