  language identification (LID) is identifing a language in a given spoken
utterance. Language segmentation is equally inportant as language
identification where language boundaries can be spotted in a multi language
utterance. In this paper, we have experimented with two schemes for language
identification in Indian regional language context as very few works has been
done. Singular value based feature embedding is used for both of the schemes.
In first scheme, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied to the
n-gram utterance matrix and in the second scheme, SVD is applied on the
difference supervector matrix space. We have observed that in both the schemes,
55-65% singular value energy is sufficient to capture the language context. In
n-gram based feature representation, we have seen that different skipgram
models capture different language context. We have observed that for short test
duration, supervector based feature representation is better but with a longer
duration test signal, n-gram based feature performed better. We have also
extended our work to explore language-based segmentation where we have seen
that segmentation accuracy of four language group with ten language training
model, scheme-1 has performed well but with same four language training model,
scheme-2 outperformed scheme-1
