Dear Gigliana:
I have not founf IPSyn for other languages, however, in my recent
research we have adapted IPSyn to look at the language competencies
of bilingual 4-6 year olds. We looked at Russian/English speaking
kids, and I am not pretty sure that IPSyn can be adapted to other
languages as well.
