Abstract

Background: From birth, children learn to communicate using their ambient languages. Many children accomplish the ability to intelligibly speak their local language and dialect as a natural and effortless part of their daily lives. There is evidence from recent cross-linguistic reviews of children’s speech development that by 5 years of age children are intelligible to strangers (McLeod, 2020) and their acquisition of consonants is almost complete (McLeod & Crowe, 2018). Some children do not readily accomplish the ability to speak intelligibly, and require additional input from speech-language pathologists, communication specialists, and families. The aim of this panel is to present a cross-linguistic account of multilingual and/or monolingual children’s speech development.
