Stuttering does not choose one language. It can affect anyone. Often young children who are being brought up in a bilingual home have more problems with stuttering that other children. The Stuttering Foundation of America has a brochure about it on this page http://www.stutteringhelp.org/DeskLeftDefault.aspx?TabID=156

People do stutter in every language, but it is an interesting and proven fact that some people stutter in their own language and do not do so in a language that they have acquired subsequently. I had students who stuttered in English and spoke perfect French. The same thing happens with some people who are dyslexic in English and word perfect in other languages which they have learnt at school.

Stuttering occur in all people from any race. It is not language/s problem. I believe that you will find stutter in any one language of all languages spoken all over the world. My friend stutter and he is african yoruba man.

The stutter affect the pronouciation of words regardless of what language they are in, though it is not unheard for someone may have a stutter in their native tongue but be able to speak completely normally in a second language

People stutter in every spoken language under the sun - stuttering is a physical/psychological condition, not a linguistic one.
Furthermore, in every language I know, there are the same tasteless, cruel jokes about people who stutter.

Julius Caesar had a stutter long before English was invented.

I haven't heard of a language in which stuttering does not occur. Singing is supposed to suppress it somewhat. Those who stutter are typically fluent when whispering, talking to themselves or to pets, or when talking over delayed feedback of their own speech (a common therapy). Reasons for fluency can be physiological, psychological, and/or neurological.

Sorry, is that a genuine question or did you just want to ask something stupid? Yes, stuttering occurs in all languages.
