The phrase "a non fluent" is not correct in standard written English.
The correct form would be "non-fluent" as an adjective to describe someone who lacks fluency in a language.
Example: "As a non-fluent speaker of Spanish, I often struggle to express my thoughts clearly."
Alternatives: "an unskilled speaker" or "a hesitant speaker."
In addition, inter-subject variability in the progression with different focuses was observed, with one patient developing a non-fluent PPA variant.
The child was found to have mental retardation (IQ 61) and epilepsy with mild cerebral palsy causing a non-fluent gait.
The disorder of agrammatic aphasia (or agrammatism), the focus of this article, is classically characterised as a non-fluent aphasia, with associated "telegraphic" speech, word order and morphological errors and reduced ability to produce verbs, although comprehension remains relatively intact (see for example, Goodglass, Kaplan, & Barresi, 2001; Marshall, 2002).
Five of the FTLD patients without known mutation showed bvFTD phenotype, 3 had a progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) phenotype and 6 showed a mixed bvFTD and MND phenotype.
FTLD comprises three core clinical dementia syndromes, a behavioural and dysexecutive (or frontal) variant called frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and two forms of primary progressive aphasia, a temporal lobe variant, also called semantic dementia (SD), and a progressive non-fluent apahasia (PA) (Neary et al., 1998).
No ethnic groups were excluded during recruitment to obtain a representative epidemiological cohort, but the interview was conducted in Finnish, excluding all non-fluent foreigners.
At initial presentation, eight of these 16 patients (50% of cases) had a clinical syndromic diagnosis of behavioural variant FTD; three (19%) had a diagnosis of FTD MND; two (13%) had a diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease; one had a diagnosis of progressive non-fluent aphasia, one an encephalitic illness and one atypical Parkinsonism.

The syndrome analysis considered the nine patients with a BDAE classification of anomic aphasia, the eight patients with a classification of Broca's aphasia and the six patients with a classification of mixed non-fluent aphasia.
The major clinical syndromes principally involve personality and behavioural change (behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia, or bvFTD) or language alterations of a fluent (semantic dementia) or non-fluent (progressive non-fluent aphasia) nature [ 1].
