Language is uniquely human, as a result, human beings have been amazingly (recognized from animals as) successful as individuals through their ability to think and understand. Human society is also encompassed by language; it binds people together but, in the first place, it can also create conflict. A person's cognitive capacity can be assessed by their vocabulary used; in other words, a person's personality can be determined by language. Human interaction happens to most often through speech, so recognizing the development of speech (talking) and comprehension provides the basis for a view of human language abilities. The process of human being producing a language is called the production of speech. "Speech" or "speech production" means either sound or gesture output, except as otherwise indicated (Jean & Nan, 1998, p. 310). The speech development pathways fall into four specific areas as defined by Levelt; they are conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self-monitoring. (Levelt, 1989). First, people have to visualize what they want to convey. Second, this idea must be incorporated in a linguistic strategy. Third, they are expected to implement the strategy in the speech system through the muscles. Lastly, people track their expression to determine if it is what they wanted to express and how they intended to say it. [Linguistic level, Physiological level, Acoustic level, Physiological level, and Linguistic level] . Denes & Pinson (1963) (as cited in Jean & Nan, 1998, p. 310). Linguistic, physiological, and auditory levels are the phases of understanding a speech according to Denes and Pinson. Speakers deliver the language through a process of linguistics, organize their thinking for what they want to say, and then finally produce the language as in acoustic stage. In contrast, listeners must listen first as in acoustic level to the audio provided by speakers, organize their thoughts and then plan for the answer provided in linguistics form. Therefore, the various forms in the spoken language reside in its progress from the speaker's mind to the listener's.
