A speech disorder where a person has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds correctly, even though they understand language.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad, difficult) + 'lalia' (talking, speech), derived from 'lalein' (to talk). It's a general term for speech articulation problems.
Dyslalia is different from stuttering—it's about individual sounds being mispronounced, which is why a speech therapist can work with specific exercises to help someone master the tricky 'r' sound or 'th' sound.
