Tahilaliya

Tahilalia (from the Greek τάχος - quickly + λαλία - speech, speaking) is pathologically accelerated speech, in which one speaks too quickly, swallowing sounds and syllables.

Tachylalia is observed in young children and preschool age with dyslalia, alalia, rhinolalia, aphasia, various neuroses and stuttering.

With tachylalia, there is an acceleration of the rate of speech by 20-30% compared to the norm. In children with tachylalia, speech becomes incomprehensible to others, since they swallow the endings of words and phrases, do not finish words, and sometimes speak in an “extra-high” note, which may be accompanied by “swallowing” of words.

In preschool children, tachylalia can manifest itself in the form of “verbal diarrhea,” when the child speaks incessantly, “without taking a breath.”

Treatment of tachylalia should be comprehensive and include speech therapy correction, drug treatment, psychotherapy and other methods.
