In this paper, we detail our work on comparing different word-level language identification systems for codeswitched Hindi-English data and a standard Spanish-English dataset.In this regard, we build a new code-switched dataset for Hindi-English.To understand the code-switching patterns in these language pairs, we investigate different codeswitching metrics.We find that the CRF model outperforms the neural network based models by a margin of 2-5 percentage points for Spanish-English and 3-5 percentage points for Hindi-English.
