Yes and no: different parts of the brain DO have different functionality and the language center IS in the left half, but you’d need your whole brain to demonize body parts since a lot more than just language would be involved in the reasoning, the decision, the planning and the execution…
Minor correction. Features like the language center are shared between both hemispheres, it’s just that typically the left side is more developed.
Though, with the plasticity of the brain, it isn’t necessarily tlalways the case. Brains are very capable of rewiring themselves. If it’s easier to (re)develop language on the right side, due to left side trauma, that’s entirely possible.
