Stroke, extremely high blood sugar, or , of course, too much alcohol.

that depends I assume there is some delay to correct. We would need to know the challange (dislexia, speech?} or the symptoms if the cause is not yet known

You poor thing!  :-)  It's also possible there could be a medical problem affecting your breath.  Here's a link to some basic info about halitosis.  Good luck to future smooching!

It's when the brain is trying to send signals to the mouth while speaking.  If the brain sends the words to the mouth too fast, the mouth can't move fast enough, so the entire system becomes frustrated and begins stammering.  One of the better ways to avoid this is to think about what you want to say before you say it.  Cause yourself to slow down when talking and eventually your brain and mouth can get back on the same wavelength again.

Most accents are caused by only a few sounds within a language that are hard to hear or pronounce after years of speaking something else.\n\nFirst, listen to American English as much as you can...radio, tv, movies, etc.\n\nSecond, tape record yourself speaking. Listen to each word you say, and identify the sounds that are giving you trouble. Make a list.\n\nThird, find out the tongue and lip positions for each sound (these can be different between languages, even though the sound is named the same).  For example, make sure that when you say a word with "th" in it, you are very rudely sticking out your tongue from between your teeth, touching your top teeth lightly (that's one most of my students have trouble with, so we spend some time being awfully silly and sticking our tongues out at each other).\n\nFourth, pick sounds, one at a time, and make lists of words with those sounds. Practice saying the words in the new way, slowly at first, and then picking up speed. Then tape record yourself saying them and listen for correct production.\n\nIt takes time, but it can greatly reduce your accent.

It means excessive secretion of mucus whenever the voice is used. \n\nBut, I, thankfully, do not suffer from it.

I have had the same thing and was not given an explanation. The onset of stroke is accompanied by slurred speech and loss of balance.

Having enlarge tonsils can cause a delay in speech because the tongue is pushed forward, making it difficult to make sounds.

Between smoking or second-hand smoking, dehydration from hard liquor and possibly snoring from both of the above...ya, it isn't out of the question for your throat to be a little hashed.

Dont let it bother you. Over consiousness is what causes stuttering but relax, take it easy, accept it to be a part of you and you will eventually grow out it.

More than one medical condition (psychological-schizophrenia, bipolar mania, acute manic episodes, and a variety of drugs) can cause this. If you know someone with these symptoms they should see a professional to determine the cause. Many times the "voices" are harmless, but there have been many cases of personal injury or injury to others due to this phenomena.

A stroke or TIA might be accompanied by other signs as well, such as slurred speech, vision loss, numbness, that sort of thing.  Halting speech like you describe is evidence of a number of other mental conditions.
