Our very first assessment, The Rochdale Assessment of Mirpuri, Punjabi and Urdu Phonology (RAMP) has a new lease of life! I have re-created the now out of print CD-R RAMP Interactive! RAMP is available as a Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote with the original illustrations and audio. It is over 25 years old so please use as a reference version and refer to the BiSSS assessment should you wish to assess home language speech sounds.
Seek and you shall find!

I've add a comprehensive SEARCH facility for the Homepage and the publications page for my publications. I've also added an RSS feed to show my latest publications on the Home page.

I've added videos linked to the IPA chart phone symbols. This allows students and those wishing to brush up on their skills to see me transcribe all the items on the main chart using an Apple Pencil on an iPad. I hope it's useful.

I've now added .WAV files to the Primary Word Stress and Intonation pages to make it much easier to both hear and see how words and utterances change, alongside the Praat graphs and IPA transcriptions.
I've also added Normative Data for speech acquisition in the UK.
