A lisp is a form of speech impediment in which the letters S and Z emerge with a "th" sound. Words such as cats come out sounding like "caths." There are several different types of lisps, but they all have the same letter difficulty.
Yes. Because stuttering is a type of nervous tick (or so I've heard) there are no languages that do not have people who lisp.
One way to work on reducing a lisp is to practice specific speech exercises that focus on correct tongue placement and airflow. Working with a speech therapist or a speech-language pathologist can also provide tailored strategies to help improve speech clarity and reduce a lisp. Consistent practice and patience are key to making progress in speech improvement.

In Yiddish, "one" is pronounced as "eins" (איינס).
The capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, is considered to be one of the capitals that are hardest to pronounce for non-native speakers.

Look at it! It's difficult to spell. And a lot of people don't pronounce it clearly. How do you pronounce Mikle?
Well, technically you cant give yourself a real lisp unless you get a retainer or something, but you could just fake one. Just listen to someone with a lisp, copy their sound and practice and people will think you have a lisp(:
Just say the name of the letters one by one.
This is a difficult one; yah-oor-t is somewhere near.
When the letters "xoxo" are included at the end of a letter or message, it is to be pronounced by saying each letter, not by trying to pronounce it as one word. This is to be interpreted as "hugs and kisses."
Yes. Because stuttering is a type of nervous tick (or so I've heard) there are no languages that do not have people who lisp.
LISP programming refers to creating applications using LISP languages - a family of old high level programming languages that used Polish notation. LISP languages are the second oldest HLLs after FORTRAN.
Hi There, I have noticed this aswell. If you look pretty closely in' The Writer' she has a lisp. However, when she talks, you can't tell she has one.
The best thing for you to do would be to get in contact with a speech therapist. if you are an Australian resident it is quite likely that this service may be provided to you at no cost. Start by speaking to your general practice doctor and he?she will be able to send you in the right direction.
It's a great story, but it's just that: a story. More precisely it's an urban legend, one of those stories that is repeated so often that people come to believe it. Like many other legends, it has enough truth (some Spaniards indeed do speak with something resembling a lisp, at least to those who accustomed to the pronunciation of Latin American Spanish) to be believed, provided one doesn't examine the story too closely. (In this case, looking at the story more closely would make one wonder why Spaniards don't also pronounce the letter s with a so-called lisp.) The fact is that all living languages evolve. And when one group of speakers is separated from another group, over time the two groups will part ways and develop their own peculiarities in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Just as U.S. English differs from British English (both of which differ from Canadian and South African English, among others), so does the Spanish of Spain and various Latin American countries. Even within one country, including Spain, you'll hear regional variations in pronunciation. And that's all we're talking about with the "lisp." Some people in Spain (and even in a few parts of South America) pronounce the letter zroughly the same as the English "th" of "tooth," while others pronounce is like an "s." It's not a lisp; it's just a difference in pronunciation. There isn't always a specific explanation of why language changes in the way it does. But there is a plausible explanation given for this change, according to a graduate student who wrote to this site after this question and answer were first published. Here's what he said: "As a graduate student of the Spanish language and a Spaniard, being confronted with people who 'know' the origin of the 'lisp' found in most of Spain is one of my pet peeves. I have heard the 'lisping king' story many times, even from cultured people who are native Spanish speakers, though you will not hear it come from a Spaniard. "Firstly, the ceceois not a lisp. A lisp is the mispronunciation of the sibilant s sound. In Castilian Spanish, the sibilant s sound exists and is represented by the letter s. The ceceocomes in to represent the sounds made by the letters z and cfollowed by i or e. "In medieval Castilian there were two sounds that eventually evolved into the ceceo, the ç (the cedilla) as in plaça and the z as in dezir. The cedilla made a /ts/ sound and the z a /dz/ sound. This gives more insight into why those similar sounds may have evolved into the ceceo."
Just Joseph :-) It's extremely adorable, though if you notice in camp rock, all three of them seem to have one ----Yes, Joseph's lisp is most prominent. Absolutely adorable! - JonasJunkie
