Does having aphasia mean someone has lost their intelligence?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
No, aphasia is specifically a language problem, not an intelligence problem. People with aphasia typically retain their cognitive abilities and knowledge - they simply have difficulty accessing and expressing language due to brain damage affecting language centres.
