“…The children in this preliminary study had acquired /r/ in all word positions by 4 years 3 months. The late acquisition of /r/ gains support from studies of the region, such as Indian Tamil (Denktash et al, 2010;Kala & Lilith, 2016) and Hindi (Lakshmi Bai & Nirmala, 1978), Quiche (Pye et al, 1987), Portuguese (Yavas & Lamprecht, 1988), German, Swedish and Xhosa (Mowrer & Burger, 1991) and Spanish (McLeod & Crowe, 2018). One probable explanation that can be proposed is the limited frequency of occurrence of this consonant in early childhood vocabulary in Sinhala compared to a sound such as /t/.…”

“…32, No.3, 2021; doi 10.47985/dcidj.456 & Topbas, 1998). Additionally, /c/ appears in two key kinship terms within early child vocabulary: /a:cci/ (grandmother) and /appacci/ (Kandy dialect word for father) suggestive of a 'functional load' hypothesis for its early mastery (Pye, Ingram & List, 1987;So & Dodd, 1995). Further acoustic analyses of Sinhala may be benefi cial to verify the characterisation of the sound as a plosive or aff ricate.…”

“…These productions support the Minimal Word prediction that the children will produce the initial consonants of noun stems that belong to footed syllables. Their omission of ejective consonants like /k'/ are most likely due to the extra articulatory difficulty in producing consonants with glottalic airflow (Bernhardt & Stemberger, 1998;Cook, 2006;Pye, Ingram & List, 1987).…”

“…Subsequent research showed that inventories may vary cross-linguistically (e.g. Pye, Ingram, & List, 1987;Ingram, 1992). c/ Assimilatory processes (within the same syllable): velar assimilation (VA), labial assimilation (LA), prevocalic voicing (PV), devoicing of final consonants (FS).…”

“…There are three principal lexical qualities that may predict and are expected to affect speech development: a/ the frequency that words occur in the language (e.g. Pye, Ingram & List, 1987;Ingram, 1988b;Morrisette & Gierut, 2002) with high-frequency words being recognized and produced faster and more accurately (e.g. Stoel-Gammon, 2011;Ellis, 2002).…”
