The spoken language may influence the way we produce our voice. Therefore, speak more than one language could affect voice production. However, there is limited evidence on the relationship between voice production and bilingualism.
To characterize the relationship between bilingualism and voice production determined by means of voice acoustic parameters and voice perception.
A review of literature was performed using four computerized databases. The keywords used were voice, bilingualism, and multilingualism. Relevant data were extracted from the publications on country and year of study, participants, sample size, characterization of voice production (acoustics, perceptual), and languages. A bibliometric analysis was performed for co-occurrence analysis. Quality assessment was conducted with the EPHPP tool.
A total of 10 publications met our inclusion criteria. Nine of the articles compared English productions with another language. Included studies reported changes in fundamental frequency between English and Spanish, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin, Russian, Finnish, Arabic, Korean, Welsh, and Hebrew. The co-occurrence analysis shows that fundamental frequency is the most reported parameter, and English is the most compared language among studies including bilingual speakers.
Speaking a second language influences voice production determined by voice acoustic parameters, such as fundamental frequency. Therefore, language may be an important factor to take into consideration when planning assessment and intervention programs on the field of voice.
口语可能会影响我们发声的方式。因此，说多种语言可能会影响发声。然而，关于发声与双语之间的关系，目前的证据有限。
通过声音声学参数和声音感知来描述双语与发声之间的关系。
使用四个计算机数据库进行文献综述。使用的关键词是声音、双语和多语。从出版物中提取有关国家和研究年份、参与者、样本量、发声特征（声学、感知）和语言的相关数据。进行共词分析进行文献计量分析。使用 EPHPP 工具进行质量评估。
共有 10 篇符合纳入标准的出版物。其中 9 篇文章将英语发音与另一种语言进行了比较。纳入的研究报告了英语和西班牙语、广东话、普通话、俄语、芬兰语、阿拉伯语、韩语、威尔士语和希伯来语之间的基频变化。共词分析表明，基频是报告最多的参数，在包括双语者的研究中，英语是最常被比较的语言。
说第二语言会影响由声音声学参数（如基频）决定的发声。因此，在声音领域的评估和干预计划中，语言可能是一个需要考虑的重要因素。
