N2 - The cerebellum, traditionally associated with motor control, has long been considered a secondary player in cognitive processing. However, decades of research have now highlighted the cerebellum's crucial role in higher-order cognitive functions. Among these, the cerebellum is consistently implicated in language — both motor components such as articulation and nonmotor aspects of language such as semantics. Here, we explore and review evidence on the cerebellum's contribution to language, with a focus on elucidating the functional organization of language in the human cerebellum. We discuss the potential implications of these findings for typical and atypical developmental processes that affect language.
