Korean Job Discussion Forums

One of the other threads mentioned babytalk research.
I remembered learning that 1-year-old children tended to speak in 1-word utterances and 1 1/2-year-old children tend to speak in 2-word utterances.
I wondered if this generalization was true of Korean children also.

Here is a sampling of toddler's utterances using the words "����,�� ���ƺ�,�� and "�̰�.��
Take a look and decide for yourself.
