Broca (in Spanish) is part used in an electric drill, hence is motor language area, while Wernicke is related to Wenicke's dementia (vit B1 deficiency), hence comprehension language area.
actually understanding written language is part of angular gyrus (hence alexia when lesioned) NOT wernicke's. wernicke's is just for understanding spoken language.
