10. Alogia and Other Terms

In some circumstances, experts use alogia as a generic term referring to an inability to speak because of issues in the central nervous system. This means that alogia is considered a form of aphasia, an inability to produce or process language due to brain damage. Some countries use “dyslogia” to refer to less severe forms of alogia.
