prattlers
Those who babble
Prattlers are people who talk at length about trivial matters.
The word carries a dismissive tone—prattlers waste time with idle chatter rather than saying anything substantial: The meeting dragged on, dominated by prattlers who loved the sound of their own voices.
Children who babble endlessly may be called prattlers more affectionately.
