Abstract
The Speech Language Pathologists and language experts need material to collect the speech sample which they can evaluate and analyze for normalcy. For older children the speech sample can be collected even in spontaneous speech or by reading of standardized text, but this cannot be done for younger children who cannot read sentences and words. For these children standardized set of word list is required so that their phonology can be checked for normalcy and intelligibility. This word list must not only be structured for presence of each sound at all positions but also these words should be familiar to the younger age group (present in their vocabulary) as the need to identify a picture for it and name it. Such structured material is still limited in Hindi Language. The present study aims the development of word list in Hindi Language and check the familiarity of the word list. The word list prepared was shown to 10 teachers of preschool (Nursery to Upper Kindergarten). The words were rated on a three point rating scale and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Those words found more than 75% familiarity may be used with younger children for speech sample collection. The words with familiarity between 50 to 75% can be used with younger children along with few semantic and phonetic cues.
