Methods: This analytical (observational) cross sectional study was carried out at the outpatient clinic of Phoniatrics unit, ENT department, Ain Shams University Hospitals, included 30 children with stuttering as a case group, in addition to 30 healthy age and sex matched controls. Each child in the studied group was subjected to the protocol of assessment of fluency disorders and language disorders. Results: In the current study, there was no statistically significant difference in the severity of stuttering between boys and girls with stuttering included in the current study. There was high statistically significant difference between the studied two groups regarding phonology and syntax. There was a statistically significant strong positive correlation between chronological age with receptive language age (p<0.001), expressive language age and total language age (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant strong positive correlation between receptive language age and expressive language age and total language age (p<0.001).
