Aphasia There are two broad categories of aphasia: fluent and nonfluent, and there are several types within these groups. Damage to the temporal lobe of the brain may result in Wernicke's aphasia (see figure), the most common type of fluent aphasia. People with Wernicke's aphasia may speak in long, complete sentences that have no meaning, adding unnecessary words and even creating made-up words. For example, someone with Wernicke's aphasia may say, You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before.
