Foreign accent syndrome
Foreign accent syndrome is a medical syndrome in which people develop speech patterns that are thought of as a foreign accent[1] that is different from their native accent, without having acquired it in the perceived accent's place of origin.
Foreign accent syndrome usually results from a stroke,[1] but can also develop from head trauma,[1] migraines[2] or developmental problems.[3] The syndrome might come due to lesions in the speech production part of the brain, or may also be considered a neuropsychiatric condition.[4] The condition was first known in 1907,[5] and between 1941 and 2009 there were 62 recorded people known to have this syndome..[3]
