Research has shown that approximately 96 percent of right-handed people localize language functions to the left hemisphere of the brain. This area is known as Broca's area and Wernicke's area and is responsible for language processing, including comprehension and production of speech. Only a very small percentage of right-handed people, around 4 percent, have a more distributed pattern of language localization and utilize both hemispheres to process language.
