Recovering brain - French accent

French accent syndrome

Once in a great while people that have had a traumatic injury to the brain, thank God recover, however, with one small quirk.  They develop a foreign accent.  There are many parts of the brain which are involved in speech.  It is not merely a matter of alterations of the part of the brain which control the muscles that produce sounds, something else happens.   Some cases have been an English country side boy who developed a posh accent, an American who developed a British Yorkshire accent and a Norwegian lady that developed a German accent.   But perhaps one of the most common is English speakers who develop a French accent.  In fact it is also referred to the French accent syndrome.
