If a person has a lispth...

[FP]

It would seem that certain languages would have a higher % of people with lisps based on the different types of phonemes that exist in the language.

PS. The misspelling in the title is on porpoise.

From what I've seen on The 70s Show, I guess it depends on the language the person is talking in. That short spanish looking dude sounds like he has a lisp in english, and IIRC, it's a pretty common feature in spanish people.

I could be wrong though, since I'm not sure what you are asking exactly.

You've answered your own question in the OP.

People don't lisp all the time speaking english, just certain words/bits of words.

Right, I guess I am asking...

Does a language exist that do not contain any of the "sounds" that give people with a lisp a problem?

He's Venezuelan and not Spanish, but I can't say I've noticed a higher prevalence among Spanish speaking people...

It would actually be

thapatoth athuleth

But actually, a lot of Spanish speakers naturally speak with a lisp (because it's how everyone speaks in certain regions).

I have a lisp mostly due to lack of hearing on both ears have made me unable with years of speech therapy to ever master sounds. I tried both French and Spanish in high school but for obvious reasons of not being able to hear the sounds correctly I could never be close to mastering either language.
