Phonemic inventories are given for each of the children for a clear picture of their acquisitional stage. It was found that reduction, substitution and assimilation played major roles in cluster acquisition. Co-occurrence restrictions and hierarchical application of the three phonological processes were noted. Results of this study are compared with similar works on Indian languages and English, and differences are pointed out.
