This timely collection is an international effort to serve as a foundation to encourage research that offers insights into the interaction between language variation and motor speech disorders. Specifically, this forum aimed to provide a platform that (a) explores and demonstrates the role of language variation in the manifestation of dysarthria, (b) considers language variation in clinical assessment and management, and (c) promotes awareness of diverse language backgrounds of people with dysarthria. The forum contains six articles, spanning a variety of research designs (cross-sectional, pre- and post-treatment), kinds of articles (tutorial, research article, commentary), and a range of languages from around the world (English, French, Korean Portuguese, Spanish).
