Abstract
This systematic review synthesized 11 empirical studies on bilingual primary progressive aphasia, identifying consistent diagnostic biases related to second-language vulnerability, code-switching misinterpretation, and monolingual testing protocols. Findings highlight how bilingual experience and methodological choices shape clinical interpretation across PPA variants.
