Introduction: Language is defined as the ability to communicate from several cognitive processes, while aphasia is an acquired disorder characterized by receptive and expressive problems in oral and written language. Subcortical structures may play an important role in speech production and processing, and recent studies have suggested that damage to these structures induces aphasia. Therefore, this study aimed to relate subcortical structures to language function and disorders. Methods: This systematic review of the literature was developed from March 2022 to May 2023 using questions from the PICO strategy and following the PRISMA guidelines. Blind and independent searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, CAPES periodic, LILACS, Medline, and SciELO databases, considering studies published between 2018 and 2023. A manual search was performed to ensure the inclusion of ongoing or unpublished studies. Results: Of the 9,888 studies retrieved, 11 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. Conclusions: A broad thalamocortical interaction was suggested for language functions and tasks, with special involvement of the left anterior thalamus.
