Recently, multimedia, especially animation, has played an important role in language learning. It has made a significant contribution to the language learning process of the hearing impaired for learners of all ages, especially the 3D animation of virtual teachers in computer-assisted language learning applications. Researches on viseme in various official languages and 3D facial animations have emerged in various countries. This paper has done lots of work in order to created Chinese Shaanxi Xi’an Dialect viseme data base by lip viseme analysis. Series of lip visemes frame data was gained by processing this dialect images and videos taken by camera. The classification of the lip viseme of this dialect also made based on the lip viseme classification of Mandarin. This work has great significance to create realistic 3D facial animation of this dialect.
