Spoken language is the most regular method of correspondence in this day and age. Endeavours to create language recognizable proof frameworks for Indian dialects have been very restricted because of the issue of speaker accessibility and language readability. However, the necessity of SLID is expanding for common and safeguard applications day by day. Feature extraction is a basic and important procedure performed in LID. A sound example is changed over into a spectrogram visual portrayal which describes a range of frequencies in regard with time. Three such spectrogram visuals were generated namely Log Spectrogram, Gammatonegram and IIR-CQT Spectrogram for audio samples from the standardized IIIT-H Indic Speech Database. These visual representations depict language specific details and the nature of each language. These spectrograms images were then used as an input to the CNN. Classification accuracy of 98.86% was obtained using the proposed methodology.
