"MY FAMILY" IN 13 LANGUAGES

I recorded the pronunciation of the phrase "my family" in twelve languages (at least, according to Google translate).  I have the recording here.  The audio file was then uploaded into Matlab, and I separated the sound waves into the twelve languages. I tried some different plotting schemes.  Below are some of my favorites. 

For the last picture, I took the Fourier transform of all the sound wave signals and plotted them on a log scale.

Here's another way to look at the sound waves.  Mandarin.  Hindi.  Japanese.  French.
