Aphasia is a language impairment caused by neurologic damage, usually to the left hemisphere of the brain. It can effect how a person comprehends language (receptive) or uses language (expression). It can also cause a "global" impairment of language (effecting both reception and expression). Aphasia is commonly diagnosed in the early stages of recovery after a stroke or a head injury. People typically receive speech therapy to improve their language skills. Prognosis for improvement varies based on type and location of brain injury and severity of lesion.

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. People with this type of aphasia do not necessarily misspeak as often in languages that are foreign to them as they do in their native language. This type of aphasia is probably caused by learning and/or acquiring too many foreign languages.
Multilingual aphasia is contrasted with mathematician's aphasia, wherein a person says the exact opposite of what she/he intended to say. Mathematician's aphasia is probably caused by being good at math and/or studying math.
Neither of these types of aphasia are caused by physiological damage to the language-processing hemisphere of the brain, in contrast to the two main types of aphasia and to most miscellaneous types.

Aphasia is often a SYMPTOM rather than a result of something. Aphasia means disordered communication with the world, and difficulty or inability to share with other people, their thoughts by using words, about ideas and concepts. However, cognitive abilities are often intact.
