👉 Mossyback is a term used in linguistics and anthropology to describe an individual who has an unusual or peculiar way of speaking, often with a distinctive accent or lack of standard pronunciation. It is characterized by a distinctively "mossy" or "stuffy" quality when spoken, which can be difficult for non-native speakers to understand. This term is often used in the context of native language learners who are not fluent in their native tongue and require assistance in mastering it.
