Abstract
Uptil now no articulation tests, standardized or otherwise, are available in
Kannada. Articulation tests such as that of Templin-Darley's and Milisen's are
available in English, but they cannot be used with people who speak languages other
than English. There is a dire necessity of standardized articulation tests in all languages
as shown by the results of the following study. A nation-wide survey of Public
School Speech Clinicians in U.S. conducted by W. Johnson et al., in 1952 showed
that 90.5 per cent of the total case load have articulation problems. So we are presenting
two procedures for describing and assessing an individual's articulation
patterns.
