This study developed the Sepedi-toet vir Spraakverstaanbaarheid to objectively assess speech intelligibility in Sepedi speakers. The test provides valuable phonetic information for clinical evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Linguistics
  • African Languages

Background:

  • There is a need for evaluation tools for indigenous African languages.
  • Existing speech intelligibility assessments may not adequately serve Sepedi speakers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the "Sepedi-toets vir Spraakverstaanbaarheid" for objective speech intelligibility evaluation.
  • To provide specific phonetic information for clinical use.
  • To address the gap in assessment tools for African languages.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a word and sentence-based test adhering to phonetic criteria.
  • Adaptation of administration procedures for mother-tongue and non-mother-tongue speakers.
  • Application of the test to four dysarthria speakers for preliminary evaluation.
