Language Lateralization in Left-Handed and Ambidextrous People
Neurol 59:238-244, Szaflarski,J.P.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The incidence of atypical language lateralization in normal left-handed and ambidetrous subjects is higher than in normal right-handed subjects (22% vs 4-6%). These whole-brain results confirm previous findings in a left-handed cohort studie d with fMRI of the lateral frontal lobe. Associations observed between personal handedness and LI and family history of handedness and LI may indicate a common genetic factor underlying the inheritance of handedness and language lateralization.
