Phonological development in first language Laki-speaking children aged 3 to 5 years: A pilot study.

Purpose: To date there are no studies of speech sound acquisition in Laki, a language spoken in western regions of Iran. Thus, we set out a pilot study to investigate the speech development of 56 first language Laki-speaking children (aged 3-5 years).

Method: Single words were elicited through a picture naming test specifically developed for this study.
