Summary/Abstract: In this paper, data obtained from an English-Pershian-Hungarian trilingual pair of siblings (under age of 4 and 3 respectively) is analyzed, with special focus on cross-linguistic influences at the phonetic/phonological levels. It will be shown that beyond the amount of input there are more important factors that trigger interference in multilingual development.
