Wernicke's aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage to the Wernicke's area of the brain, typically located in the left temporal lobe. Individuals with this condition often produce fluent but nonsensical speech and have significant difficulties in understanding spoken and written language. They may use incorrect words or create made-up words, making their communication ineffective. Despite their speech being grammatically correct, the content lacks coherence.

Multilingual aphasia is a type of aphasia where someone often misspeaks by saying something in her/his native language that is semantically similar to what the person intended to say.
