Does aphasia affect the tongue

Aphasia primarily affects language processing and communication abilities rather than the physical functions of the tongue itself. Individuals with aphasia may have difficulty finding Words, forming sentences, or understanding language, but their ability to move their tongue and articulate sounds can remain intact. However, some speech-related conditions associated with aphasia, like apraxia of speech, can affect the coordination required for speech production. Thus, while the tongue's movement isn't directly affected by aphasia, the ability to use it effectively in speech can be impacted by related disorders.
