Coprolalia - is the obscenities often associated with Tourretes, although most people with Tourrettes do not shoult obscenities. Tourrettes is actually considered a tic disorder.
Echolalia - involves parroting or repeating what someone says
Glossolalia - speaking non-sensical syllables, similar to speaking in tongues of some religions

Schizophrenia can involve disordered speech as can brain injuries.
