Thank you for the great article. Being bilingual myself; I speak Vietnamese and English; I found it very interesting that there are still so many unanswered questions when it comes to bilingual stuttering. I read an interesting article about English and Mandarin bilinguals, where clinicians in the study believe language dominances have a lot to do with the severity of disfluencies, but not the stuttering behaviors. This article was particularly appealing to me because of the differences in the language structures. Do you think that in bilingual stuttering cases, native speakers of tonal languages are more severely affected by stuttering than those who speak non-tonal based languages?
