    Speech disorders or speech impediments are a type of communication disorder where 'normal' speech is disrupted. This can mean stuttering, lisps, etc. Someone who is unable to speak due to a speech disorder is considered mute.

    Classification

    Classifying speech into normal and disordered is more problematic than it first seems. By a strict classification, only 5% to 10% of the population has a completely normal manner of speaking (with respect to all parameters) and healthy voice; all others suffer from one disorder or another.

    There are three different levels of classification when determining the magnitude and type of a speech disorder and the proper treatment or therapy:

  • Sounds the patient can produce
    1. Phonemic- can be produced easily; used meaningfully and constructively
    2. Phonetic- produced only upon request; not used consistently, meaningfully, or constructively; not used in connected speech
  • Phonemic- can be produced easily; used meaningfully and constructively
  • Phonetic- produced only upon request; not used consistently, meaningfully, or constructively; not used in connected speech
  • Mute (soup)

    Mute is a Colombian cuisine soup from Boyacá and Santander departments. The word may be used as slang for a whole corn soup in other areas. In Santander cuisine, ingredients include pork parts, corn, and vegetables. In Boyaca, beef and potato seem to be used more commonly. Goat meat can also used.
