For Aphasia Awareness Month there are some videos on Youtube documenting the problem.
This terrible brain maulfunction, which is often caused by stroke, or from other severe brain injuries. Aphasia is typified by the inability to produce speech fluidly and often this speech lacks grammatical complexity. Some aphasia sufferers are unable to produce sounds that can be deciphered as English though they try, and others perhaps more fortunate can use certain words and phrases such as small children to get their point across. Some sufferers are with time and a great deal of effort able to regain their ability to speak fluidly once again
