		The German spoken by Turkish OrienTel database comprises 332 Turkish speakers who spoke German (167 males, 165 females) recorded over the German fixed and mobile telephone network. This database is partitioned into 1 DVD. The speech databases made within the OrienTel project were validated by SPEX, the Netherlands, to assess their compliance with the OrienTel format and content specifications. Speech samples are stored as sequences of 8-bit 8 kHz A-law. Each prompted utterance is stored in a separate file.
