In popular culture
[edit]This section was trivial, infantile and moronic and I have therefore deleted it. These idiotic lists are a disgrace to Wikipedia. Bartflower (talk) 13:22, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- You may be interested to know some editors are discussing muteness over at Talk:Touch (2012 TV series) since the young son is a mute (according to show creators, I am told). I don't know what was in the deleted section, but this TV series of 13 episodes is fantastic (we are fans) and many worldwide consider muteness ramifications. Is this popular culture?

More focus on illness-related-muteness
[edit]I'd really like to see more information on muteness caused by throat infections, surgery for throat cancer, etc. It's not in any of the "variations". The only variations being unable to speak and move and being unable to speak due to psychological reasons. Also, a "treatment" section would be good. Such as corrective surgery (rare, but it's been done) or behavioral therapy, in the case of selective mutism. 98.217.230.157 (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTED MUTNESS
[edit]I just saw the other bit in this talk of muteness article and even then (april 2012) there was no mention, still today, of psychological caused inability to speak.
There is only mentioned of neurological/direct physically caused muteness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.146.67 (talk) 04:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Translation
[edit]The article contents translation from the hu:Némaság. Szalakóta (talk) 10:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Causes
[edit]This section is very short and needs to be expanded on. I added more information as to the location of Broca's area. Chrissietheslp (talk) 01:12, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
The causes should not be divided under three headers. Currently the meaning of organic causes is unclear, autism spectrum disorder is mentioned twice and neurological damage is mentioned under organic instead of neurological causes. More though needs to be given to the structure of this page. 2 December 2022 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wizard's Spellbook (talk • contribs) 14:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- I believe "Organic" refers to Organs, but would be better stated as "Biological" contributors to mutism, so as not to confuse with the quality of being organic. Thus, I will make a change to reflect this. Feel free to revert this if it goes against established standards elsewhere.
- I'll make a separate edit trying to clarify the other causes, and possibly structure them differently, as you suggest. 192.77.12.11 (talk) 09:13, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
