Term for toddler-mispronounced words?

Question

Is there a single-word equivalent to "child speech"? A term that would convey that a toddler, still learning the language, has mispronounced a word?

Answer 1

I would use the term "baby talk", as this is a very clear expression and generically used phrase for such kind of speech (even if strictly speaking it is not a baby, but a toddler). If you are thinking this phrase also applies to adults who speak to babies or children imitating their funny form of speech, you would be correct.

Hope this helps!
