A non-fluent aphasia characterized by slow, effortful speech and difficulty with grammar (agrammatism). Patients typically understand language well but struggle to express themselves.

• Speech pattern: Slow, effortful speech with short, simplified phrases ("telegraphic speech")
• Word-finding: Difficulty producing the right words, especially verbs and function words (like "the," "and," "of")
• Grammar: Often omit small grammatical words and endings
• Comprehension: Usually good understanding of everyday conversation
• Awareness: Typically aware of their errors and may become frustrated

People with Broca's aphasia often know what they want to say but struggle to produce the words. They may use key nouns but leave out connecting words (e.g., "Coffee... cup... table" instead of "The coffee is in the cup on the table").
