Naming ability is skill which we developed throughout our life. It need to process in different level in human mind such as short term memory, long term memory. Angular gyrus structure of brain situated place in the brain identified by mainly researcher that play significant role in person naming ability. 80% population of CVA survives after stroke; suffer with aphasia which is very high across the world. In India, we have 32 languages which are registered and mainly used for official purpose. India nearly 5 million people are using Hindi language as official or day to day communication purpose. State like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand Madhya Pradesh Hindi speaking population is very high in number. Considering large number of Hindi speaking population and naming skill is one of important ability which speech language communication disorder need to evaluate regularly. There is severe dearth in this area therefore current research study taken up for to construct and validate test battery for assessing naming ability. Currently we mainly relay on English test which are not suitable for our Indian population because of culture, language difference. 254 Hindi speaking control subjects were recruited for study. In this control group 36 subject were illiterate not who didn’t had any form of schooling. For experimental group consisted of 23 subjects with anomic aphasia with mean age of 46.4 years. Hindi naming test were constructed with five subsection each section as specific scoring criteria. Literate and illiterate normative value of naming test calculated .test – retest and intra tester high reliability was obtained by person correlation test. All test items were validated by Hindi speaking experienced speech therapist. This naming test has several advantages such as it is easy to administered, easy scoring, age specific norm and quick test. Test consisted items which are picturable arranged systematically from simple to most difficult words. These test findings are reliable and valid .Therefore we recommend that this naming ability test can be used in daily clinical practice to check the naming ability in Hindi of aphasic population.
