Result: SAQOL-39 is reliable and valid measure of the quality of life in people with aphasia. We found that SAQOL-39 have high internal consistency and high correlation’s coefficient in HINDI speaking patient. We also found that patients with post stroke aphasia generally reduced mean of all domains of quality of life. The average value of physical domain is 64.30 points out of the maximum 85, psychosocial domain is 35.48 points out of the maximum 45, communication domain is 22.54 points out of maximum 34, energy domain was 16.12 points out of the maximum 20.total quality of life had not statistically significantly correlated with type of aphasia. Conclusions: Our results also showed subjects with different type of aphasic syndrome differed in the results achieved in all area which tested for the quality of life, as well as in the overall quality of life. We found that Type of aphasic syndrome was significantly correlated with communication domain of quality of life, but not other domain of quality of life
