| Foreign accent syndrome is a rare condition in which patients, thanks to neurological or muscular damage caused by a stroke, head trauma, or other event, develop speech patterns that are perceived as sounding like a foreign accent to listeners. In this way, a person speaking American English might sound “French” or “German” to the listener, but they have not gained any knowledge of the language, they simply have altered speaking patterns as a result of the precipitating event that mimics traits of that language.  | |
