Because of defective control of muscles of the speech organs there is an obstruction in pronunciation of certain sounds or one utters then with repetition.

Many hundred years ago in a small town of India, a merchant had a misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forget the debt if he could marry the merchant’s daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.
