| Comments: | The word "lisp" refers to a speech impediment involving one specific type of mispronunciation. 舌足らず refers more generally to unclear pronunciation: (literally "insufficiency of [the movement] of the tongue"). "Slurred speech" or "poor pronunciation" or something could be added for further clarity. |
