The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Functional links between motor and language systems (2005, background): “All subjects were strongly right handed, as revealed by neuropsychological testing, and it is known that right-handedness is usually associated with left hemispheric dominance for language (see, e.g. Knecht et al., 2000).”
Natural speech reveals the semantic maps that tile human cerebral cortex (2016, positive): “A wealth of evidence suggests that handedness is related to language laterality in the brain: among ambidextrous individuals 15% are right-lateralized for language, while among strongly right-handed individuals only 4% are right-lateralized (Knecht et al., 2000).”
Visual constraints in written word recognition: evidence from the optimal viewing-position effect (2005, background): “We intend to repeat the study in the near future using brain imaging to assess the cerebral dominance (Knecht et al., 2000).”
Wine Tasting: A Professional Handbook (2002, background): “This contrasts with the left hemisphere, where verbal aspects of language tend to be concentrated (Deppe et al., 2000; Knecht et al., 2000).”
Auditory verbal hallucinations predominantly activate the right inferior frontal area. (2008, background): “In most right-handed subjects, the right hemisphere is inferior to the left in language production (Straus and Wada, 1983; Knecht et al., 2000).”
