Mumbling is a speech pattern characterized by unclear or indistinct pronunciation of words. It often occurs when a person speaks softly or fails to articulate their words properly, making it difficult for listeners to understand. This can happen due to nervousness, lack of confidence, or simply a habit developed over time. Mumbling can be particularly problematic in social situations or public speaking, where clear communication is essential. It may also be associated with certain conditions, such as speech disorders or anxiety. Improving enunciation and practicing speaking techniques can help individuals reduce mumbling and enhance their communication skills.
