Jumbled speech

¿Qué tal les parece "habla entrecortada" para "jumbled speech?"

Es lo que puso la primera traductora...me parece demasiado fuerte "incoherente."

Otras posibilidades podrían ser:

habla confusa
habla revuelta?
habla emburujada?

I think incoherente is the best translation, boss. Enbrujada sounds funny.
I don't think it's too strong, Marsopa

I agree, habla incoherente is going to be the best understood across the board, especially if the people reading it are from many different countries.

Iris, no dije embrujada dije emburujada del verbo emburujar, está en el diccionario, pero supongo que es muy poco usual.

I'm sure you could find plenty of English words I've never heard too.
