Mute is the inability to speak due to dysfunction of the larynx or a result of a psychological condition that causes a person to become selectively mute due to trauma or shock. (TOS: "The Empath"; TNG: "Loud As A Whisper"; et al).

The two Bajoran farmers Baltrim and Keena were rendered mute during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. (DS9: "Progress")
