“…Early phonetic inventories included labial and coronal place; stop, nasal, and glide consonant manner types; mid and low front vowels; and CV and CVCV open syllable shapes. These characteristics were also observed in children learning languages other than English (e.g., Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, and Korean) in several cross-linguistic studies (Amayreh & Dyson, 2000;Cataño, Barlow, & Moyna, 2009;Cen & Kent, 2005;Lee, Davis, & MacNeilage, 2010). They have also been noted in hearing-impaired children (Warner-Czyz, Davis, & Morrison, 2005).…”
