Present study aims to construct the Western Aphasia Battery in Nepali language. Subjects for this study were 10 Nepali speaking adults in age range of 30 and above, out of which five were healthy and five were aphasics. The cortical quotient (CQ) was not included in the present study as many of our population were illiterate and examining them on the tests of reading and writing was not possible. The current study clearly shows that aphasic patients can be identified and classified into the types of aphasia and also severity of the language deficits can be obtained in terms of the AQ, by using Nepali WAB. The test gives detailed information about oral language abilities which further provides the baseline for therapy plan and recovery.
