摘要：In this paper, we propose an idea to use subword synthesis units to generate novel word sound of Malay language. The subword synthesis units were carefully created based on Malay phoneme adjacency analysis. The phoneme adjacency analysis was used to find out which adjacent phonemes that would not introduce audible distortion if the phonemes were concatenated. Besides phoneme adjacency factor, we also include prosodic features in selecting the subword synthesis unit. Thus, by considering both phoneme adjacency and prosodic feature in selecting the subword units, a smooth sound of novel word can be obtained.
