摘　　要：Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Assessment (POLQA) and Perceptual <span>Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) are commonly used objective standards for evaluating speech quality. These methods were developed and trained on native </span>speakers’ speech sequences of some western languages. One can then wonder how these methods perform if they are applied to other languages or if the<span> speaker is non-native. This paper deals with the evaluation of PESQ and POLQA </span>on languages that were not been considered when setting up these methods, with emphasis on Moore and Dioula, two local languages of Burkina Faso. <span>Another aspect is the evaluation of these two methods in the case of non-native speakers. For this purpose, in the one hand, the Mean Opinion Score-Listening Quality Objective (MOS-LQO) of PESQ and POLQA, computed for Moore and Dioula, are compared to those of French and English. On the second hand, the </span><span>MOS-LQO scores of French and English are compared for native and</span><span> non-native speakers, to evaluate the effect of the accent of speakers.</span>Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Assessment (POLQA) and Perceptual <span>Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) are commonly used objective standards for evaluating speech quality.
