Stuttering (commonly known as stammering in the UK and scientifically known as dysphemia) is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is frequently disrupted by repetitions (sounds, syllables, words or phrases), pauses and prolongations that differ both in frequency and severity from those of normally fluent individuals.
By age 14, the stutter is usually classified as an "Advanced stutter," characterized by frequent and noticeable interruptions, with poor eye contact and the use of various tricks to disguise the stuttering.
Each stutterer has different sounds that he or she personally finds difficult to speak, usually plosive consonants or closed vowels, and by using filled pauses the stutterer can ease into continuous speech that otherwise would be more difficult to begin.

Stuttering (known as stammering in parts of the UK and scientifically known as dysphemia) is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is frequently disrupted by repetitions (sounds, syllables, words or phrases), pauses and prolongations that differ both in frequency and severity from those of normally fluent individuals.
Stuttering is a communicative disorder that affects speech; it is not a language disorder—although a person's use of language is often affected or limited by a stutter.
Stutterers can be traced back centuries to the likes of Demosthenes, Aesop, and Aristotle—some interpret a passage of the Bible to indicate Moses also to have been a stutterer.

But even that therapy for stuttering was a lot better than the way things used to be: Throughout the 18th Century, flogging was a common remedy; in the 1840s, surgeons treated stuttering by severing the nerves at the base of the tongue.
For all its commonality, the stuttering community is as varied as any society--young, old, straight, gay--people whose disorder is so mild you barely notice it and others, such as Vicki Schutter, an effervescent Texan, with a stutter so severe it literally takes her a minute or more to ask my name.
The wall between stutterers and the rest of the world is built not only by childhood mocking and insults, but also by silence, the reluctance of nearly everyone--stutterers, their families, even therapists--to talk about it.

Stuttering is a physical condition, not a behavioral or attitudinal disorder.
The way to keep stuttering at bay is not to adopt the tactics that work for non-stutterers but to understand why and when you stutter and make a "work-around" that will make it seem as though you don't stutter at all.

 Stuttering Tied to Brain Abnormality
In the study, reported in The Lancet, researchers from the Universities of Hamburg and Gottingen conducted sophisticated brain scans of 15 adults who stutter and 15 adults with normal speech, and found the tissue structure of a region in the brain's left hemisphere was different in the stuttering patients.
In the stuttering subjects, the right hemisphere areas of the brain involved in language were found to compensate, but the researchers don't think the alternative explanation -- that the right hemisphere overcompensation was the cause of the stuttering -- is valid.
