To establish normative nasalance scores for a set of newly developed stimuli in Malay.
Cross-sectional study.
Participants were 150 native speakers of Malay aged 6 years to 12 years.
All consented participants were initially screened to identify any overt difficulties relating to hearing, voice quality, resonance, or speech and language skills. Participants who passed the screen read or repeated each stimulus, and nasalance scores were recorded.
The mean nasalance score for the Oral passage was 13.86% (SD = 5.11, 95% CI = 13.04 to 14.68), 60.28% (SD = 6.99, 95% CI = 59.15 to 61.41) for the Nasal Passage, and 27.72% (SD = 4.74, 95% CI = 26.96 to 28.49) for the Set of Sentences.
Despite small variations, the overall mean nasalance scores in Malay are consistent with published norms in other languages. Age and sex differences were observed but clinically not relevant.
为一组新开发的马来语刺激材料建立标准鼻音评分。
横断面研究。
150名6至12岁的马来语母语者。
所有同意参与的参与者首先接受筛查,以确定是否存在与听力、嗓音质量、共鸣或言语和语言技能相关的明显困难。通过筛查的参与者朗读或重复每个刺激材料,并记录鼻音评分。
口语段落的平均鼻音评分为13.86%(标准差=5.11,95%置信区间=13.04至14.68),鼻腔段落为60.28%(标准差=6.99,95%置信区间=59.15至61.41),句子组为27.72%(标准差=4.74,95%置信区间=26.96至28.49)。
尽管存在微小差异,但马来语的总体平均鼻音评分与其他语言已发表的标准一致。观察到年龄和性别差异,但在临床上不相关。
