Why I hate those “lipreading expert” tabloid headlines and how they can be damaging?

August 7, 2021 By Ahmed Khalifa

Which language is the easiest to lip read?

August 30, 2019 By Ahmed Khalifa

Image for post with the title: Which language is the easiest to lipread? - Is there a clear answer to this question? Well, not really...

In this episode, I answer the question on what is the easiest language to lipread?

This is yet another question that I’ve seen crop up on Google and Quora.

Even though the easy answer is whatever is your main spoken language, the other answer is the dreaded “it depends”.

Because it’s all well and good trying to get a linguistic to understand which language is the easiest and hardest to lip-read; but it’s all irrelevant because it never allows you to completely comprehend what the person is saying.
