Is there a name for a speech impediment like this where, for lack of a better description, it sounds like you're talking after you've bitten your tongue?

「いだだきまあず」　→　いただきます

「ごぢぞうざまでぢだあ」　→　ごちそうさまでした

Here's the video I took the screenshots from, but the audio doesn't completely match the words on the screen. (Also, I couldn't figure out how to link between a particular start and end time on the video.)

  • Could you add an audio clip? There are several possibilities such as how hearing impaired people or how stroke victims speak. Or just quick, informal native speech. – user3169 Mar 07 '17 at 04:05

There is a word 鼻声【はなごえ】, which is understood by all native speakers. Exaggerated examples would be:

  • がぜびぎまじだぁ （風邪引きましたぁ）
  • あ゛あ゛あ゛、ごめんなざい～ （ごめんなさい～）

But this usually refers to a temporary symptom of a normal human being.

For a yokai like this, I would use 鼻の詰まったような声, 鼻にかかったような声, くぐもった声, こもった声 or 濁った声. You can use 常に濁音で喋る although this doesn't look technical at all.
