摘要：

To meet the need of Tibetan speech synthesis, this paper has designed rules of corpus selection and optimized the selected corpus. It puts forward a prosodic annotation system suitable for Lhasa Tibetan, and has successfully built a speech synthesis corpus of Lhasa Tibetan based on the method of Chinese speech corpus construction but with Tibetan features. The corpus contains a text corpus, a speech corpus and an annotation corpus. Such a corpus is highly comprehensive and scientific, includes almost all the segmental and suprasegmentai information of Lhasa Tibetan, and will greatly promote the development of Tibetan prosody research and its speech synthesis system.
