Fluency

Fluency (also called volubility and eloquency) refers to continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production.[1] It is also used to characterize language production, language ability or language proficiency.

In speech language pathology it means the flow with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined when speaking quickly, where fluency disorder has been used as a collective term for cluttering and stuttering.
