Muteness can be caused by a variety of things.

A true mute can't speak even if they would like to and it's often due to physical injuries or developmental problems in the vocal cords, lungs, or brain.

A selective mute can physically speak but is often unable due to a mental condition such as autism or a traumatic experience creating a phobia.
