Dear Viren,

You are a veritable spring for questions about stuttering!

This question is a good one. My thoughts on the subject of the interactions of different languages and stuttering are in responses both to Daniele Orla and Andy Floyd earlier in this threaded discussion.

There is no doubt that a great deal of research has been done on the effects of speaking different languages and stuttering. To my knowledge, however, we lack a large focused series of studies to sort out the variable results that have been reported. As I mentioned to Andy, we also lack detailed, objective reviews of the literature.

Thanks for all your activity in these discussions.

Ken
