 It's exciting to see the reach of our work:

Learning about Persian/Farsi

Over the past few days I have had fascinating conversations with colleagues in Tehran, Iran who are contributing a chapter on Persian/Farsi to The [Oxford] Handbook on Speech Development in Languages of the World. This Handbook will be an updated version of the International Guide to Speech Acquisition published in 2007. Persian was not included in the IGSA, so I'm glad it will be in this book. I love learning about languages.
