- Abstract
-
Urdu is a language which is spoken by more than 100 million people across the
world. But, unfortunately, no substantial work has been done on the acquisition of Urdu
language in children. For the first time, this paper focuses on children’s acquisition of Urdu
consonants. The children selected for the study were 6 to 30 months old. The paper also
discusses the difference in acquisition of Urdu consonants in both the genders, male and
female, of this age group. This study establishes the idea that children (male and female) learn
Urdu language differently as the girls were found having acquired more consonants as
compared to boys. - Downloads
