This research paper is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of bilingualism and more specifically the intonational interference in the speech of bilinguals. In the first place, in order to explain some phenomenon, we always refer to its origins. Namely, in our case it is a phenomenon of early childhood bilingualism. To identify the features of the speech of multilingual children, it is necessary to pay attention to what mistakes they make compared to the rules of the language and the speech of monolingual children. The objectives of the study are to analyze the peculiarities of learning different languages by bilingual children mostly from phonetic aspects and to gather practical material to confirm or disprove the analysis. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of intonational interference on the process of assimilation and formation of language structures.
