Is there a condition like aphantasia (inability to visualize mental images) but for spoken language? A no-inside-voice condition? Aconfabula?

This question is so funny to me because aphasia is relatively common due to strokes. I've never heard of aphantasia!

Aphasia is complete loss of speech though right? Not just inner speech.

There are people who deliberately strive for this. Thinking of one blogger/academic in particular who claims not to have had a “thought” in years; name escapes me at the mo’.

Oh, aphantasia. Now I have a name for it, thought I was the only one.

When I had my speech-loss migraine, I was able to “feel” coherent thoughts, but unable to articulate them internally or externally.
It didn’t feel unusual (apparently I often speak before internal articulation), until I tried it.
