aphasia
A communication disorder which can affect how a person understands what is being communicated to them, how they communicate to others, or both. The disorder is sometimes the result of a stroke, a brain tumor, a brain hemorrhage, or other brain injury.
Do not confuse aphasia with oral or speech apraxia, though the two may occur together.
