The process of speech and language development in children is an effortless and basic human skill. As the child acquires language, they acquire a sign system that bears an important relationship to both cognitive and social aspects of their life. Every language has its own phonological system so i...

As the child acquires language, they acquire a sign system that bears an important relationship to both cognitive and social aspects of their life. Every language has its own phonological system so it is necessary to develop language-specific articulatory skill acquisition norms. The aim of the study was to delineate the phonology acquisition in typically developing Nepali-speaking children between the ages 3 and 7. Forty children in 5 discrete groups as: 3.0-3.12 (mean= 3.4), 4.0-4.12 (mean= 4.4), 5.0-5.12 (mean= 5.5), 6.0-6.12 (mean= 6.4) years, each group consisting of 10 children was considered for the study. All the forty children were administered a picture articulation test in Nepali (PAT-N). The test consists of 79 colorful pictures, and analyses 6 vowels, 3 diphthongs, and 28 consonants in different positions: initial, medial, and final position. After the completion of recording, the recorded samples were transcribed in IPA after a few hours of recording on the same day and were analyzed All the vowels and diphthongs included in the study were acquired before the age of 3 years old. Around 60% of consonants including in all the positions are developed by age 3.12. The result demonstrated that children acquire more speech and become more accurate as they get older. Speech-language pathologists/ therapists can use this study to assess the speech sound errors, link with intelligibility, and know about the actual breakdown in speech sound development.
