What is a big tongue

Tongue-tiedness is quite common in our daily life, mainly because of abnormalities in the tissues under the tongue. If some children develop tongue-tiedness after they learn to speak, parents must pay attention to it and make corrections in time. Children are in the period of growth and development, so it is better to correct it at this time and it can achieve relatively good results. Let's take a look at this aspect slowly.

What is a big tongue?

Tongue-tie is a type of oral disease, medically known as slurred speech or unclear articulation, commonly known as "tongue-tie". The reason is that there are physiological abnormalities in the vocal organs or abnormalities in the direction of the vocal airflow, which will result in various forms of inaccurate pronunciation. There are also those who have inaccurate pronunciation due to dialects and are also called "big tongue".

Symptoms of a large tongue

Congenital mainly refers to: due to incomplete physical development and defects, especially the language center and pronunciation organs have had lesions, most of which are caused by embryo drug poisoning, and some are caused by extreme lack or excess of nutrition in the fetal period, resulting in deformed or incomplete development of organs. Vocal cord defects such as cleft palate and cleft lip directly affect pronunciation and language expression. Acquired characteristics mainly refer to: the body functions are completely normal, but the muscles of the vocal organs are insufficiently strong, the tension is insufficient or the coordination is poor, resulting in inaccurate pronunciation. Over time, people accept this wrong information and develop wrong pronunciation habits, causing confusion between correct and incorrect pronunciation.

Causes of large tongue

Congenital physiological maldevelopment has various deformities, such as congenital mental retardation, sequelae of cerebral palsy and other diseases, including compression of language nerve diseases. The inaccurate pronunciation of these patients is caused by physiological phenomena.

Acquired articulation disorders are manifested as the initial consonants and finals not moving properly when speaking, resulting in the independent pronunciation of the finals and causing distortion. In addition, there are many other reasons, including the error in the way of airflow elimination (air from the mouth goes into the nasal cavity), the tongue sounds are pronounced on both sides of the tongue, and the tongue movement is poor, all of which are factors that contribute to inaccurate pronunciation.

Misunderstanding about inaccurate pronunciation: Some people are born with inaccurate pronunciation and think it is congenital. This is a misconception caused by a lack of understanding of the stages of language development. There are actually two stages of language development in childhood.
