Josiah may have damage to his Broca's area.

Explanation:

The part of the brain that is responsible for the production of speech is referred to as the 'Broca's Area'. It is situated in the frontal lobe and usually on the left side of the dominant hemisphere. Even a minute damage to this part can cause serious disorders as far as speech is concerned. Disorders like stammering, jumbling of words, etc., are common for a person with damaged Broca's area.
