[RiggyBail]

[geno2k3]

This happened to me as well. I suffered a brain injury now I speak with a dolphin accent. I've been dating Flipper for about 3 months now... things are going well besides the fact that Flipper beats me on occasion. I am now having a procedure to have a blowhole put in my head. Thanks for listening.

[mahashakti999]

[NeccoWecco]

@Theluckyhotdog2 I live in Spain since Feb. Spanish women don't go anywhere (even to the park) without their platform heels. lol. Women here pride themselves on having individualistic clothes, ones that no one else has, but they are always very cute, nicely colored and usually nicely made. The shops even in my tiny town look like fancy boutiques.

[NeccoWecco]

@Theluckyhotdog2 europeans dont dress differently than americans...

[spawnofwheezedog]

I think that accent's kind of adorable!

[ladylarch1]

My friend has just been diognosed with fas she took it last year so yes guys it is very much real

[rockcristiano]

wth?! She shounds Irish lol

[Spagoochy]

@rockcristiano i'm irish and very insulted

[adamisabfab]

I believe I have FAS. I had a concussion when I was a little kid.Heard my accent is everywhere in Europe. One of the the things I noticed FAS is that no one can pin down where your accent is coming from. Why would you want to fake this and be ridiculed!? And if any gay guys think this is hot, hit me up. I haven't got laid in awhile. lol

[nfesano]

Does not sound real...sounds like a personality disorder. The articulation pattern does not seem consistent with any one single language. I can see problems with motor functioning after brain trauma but why a foreign accent? Why able to speak a foreign language? This must be stored DNA from another Life?

[BlueKeyNotesTen]

Wonder what happens if a person who got this disorder, but has never heard of any other accents around the planet. Like if they lived in a cave their whole life.

[tulip2111]

This lady is lying her ass off

[cynthiayl12]

her "strange words" were really awkward spanish.

[amwaybootcamp]

possessed by the devil!

[RaffTail]

la loca mala cosa la mala cosa

Her "strange words" were Spanish!

[serenecelene]

Do you know whats funny? That she never even left her town, and yet the accent makes her seem so worldly!

[serenecelene]

Her accent sounds hott and exotic lol! :D

[cpernilla]

It's doesn't sound like swedish or russian or german, is sounds like ICELANDIC. Gosh.

[dgl1962]

Like we need this?

Why can't there be a syndrome where attractive women get really horny & ask their neighbors to bang them?

[gazakiddo]

"hey my best friend just had this syndrome we are Jamaicans and she as never been to England and is not associated with any British but now she speaks fluent British can anyone who knows about it contact me at 876-373-3947. she just turn 21"

[Murphyalex]

"in the beginning especially to say my sister ph...ph...ph..phyllis, it'd come out" .....

After that, the last thing I was expecting was "SHEBA", made me chuckle.

[koala8]

this sort of reminds me of ppl who "speak in tongues" (christians)....they claim to be speaking a language but it sounds like gibberish..

[omc03]

Is it a coincidence that all the sufferers in this video are women? Or does it not affect men?

[jawa64ify]

@omc03 fas is linked to migraines and stroke which are prevalent with women.

[ruflower]

Actually it is a brain damage which can be healed and language can be recovered. I am only concerned with the maintenace "work" they need to do in the rest of their life

[EverydayAlex]

scotish lying mofo lol

[gamer4299]

This woman is totally faking this. How disrespectful of her to demean those who actually suffer from this disease.

[spacecowboy5000]

@gamer4299 What criteria are you using as a basis for your opinion?

[MrShayneOneill]

@gamer4299 I don't really think that can be established, especially considering she has the required neurological damage that causes it (acording to the doctor, you can see it in a ct scan). The gibberish language stuff is par for the course for damaged speech centers. You see it a lot in stroke victims, and sometimes with epilepsy.

[carloncho1607]

Irish Swedish Indian

[RockinRed45Mvs]

[TheTwill12]

[thepathofwind]

Sarah Palin.

[thepathofwind]

Irish/Swedish/Indian. :)

[daniboy232]

INDIAN HARD

[EnsiferumFan91]

i hear swedish in her accent

[Anet000]

Indian accent - the worst case

[schizoidchimp]

@Anet000 my thought exactly when I first saw this

[melinaxluvsxpocky]

she sounds scottish or irish more then russian :S

[r0ckinOUTloud]

the french accent is nice :)

[electricconcerto]

Man, to suffer this brain damage and have it explained make it easier dealing with it. I suffered a stroke and after I recovered I talked very strange, almost like an English accent, and I couldn't control it. I offended a couple coworkers because they had English accents and thought I was mocking them. Then the questions.... drove me up a wall. "Were in England are you from?" "I'm not, it's a speech impediment"... It took 3 years, but I have almost managed to get my old accent back.

[adamisabfab]

@electricconcerto Thanks for sharing! I believe I have FAS too

[kzdavis1000]

Pause at 1:49

It looks like Tom Bruso the epic beard man

[rachel110793]

thats a cute accent! lol

[adi87tya]

she sounds half arab, half irish, half hispanic...lol

[Jasonmyways]

Americans have no conception of a British accent at all do they lol

[latinojuan]

I think the first woman in the video with FAS sounds Irish.

[trafficjam10]

her new accent is lot more pleasant to listen to than that boring midwest accent she used to have.

[xxximaledgexxx]

port angeles :) .....hmmm.....where do i know that from?? ;) but like u CAN talk in a diff accent all day easily if ur not actually sticking to one particular accent......dunno how true it is :/

[Kajover]

she sounds indian

[sarathomas208]

iam sorry she sound much exotic now

[lazyloddy]

robin williams????

[PsuedoSenator]

The language at 3:16 sounds like a cross between Arabic and Spanish :P

[PsuedoSenator]

Whatever that accen't is at 4:13...I want it!

[JackieChan173]

Typical that an american has to get an accent that sounds like the queen.

[nnutcase]

i don't know about the other languages

[moodswyng]

wow it's like you have a new wife in bed when you switch off your lights.

[az09az63]

this is bull

[swissguy123]

I bet that moving truck was full of mexicans

[LLORT3]

hello this is semicolon

[DHY444]

sounds like Romania accent...

[Mazequax]

I'd say that she sounds ... indian ... :D

[TheBrokenvoices]

@Mazequax I think she sounds indian too!

[OijGrl]

The "mystery" language sounds to me more like Aphasia, maybe she has both

[iloveJesus420]

Interesting... cross between mainly Swedish and Irish accents.

[protosswannabe]

Dat woman needs to join a Pentecostal church:)

[MrKn1ght]

@protosswannabe why?

[dex1lsp]

She sounds Hungarian/Swedish/Irish.

[lucky4sum]

I think the most shocking thing is that at 51 she's never left her hometown..That's a tragedy!!!

[0u8shirt8]

The accents are all rubbish.

[grrlchick]

That accent sounds Hungarian (which is, oddly, a mix of Russian/German/Swedish).

[Icarus3]

FAS is real, but the idea of actually speaking in other languages is absurd. The only reasonable explanation is that it's nonsense words that sound like a foreign language, but would be totally unintelligible to someone who actually spoke the language we think it sounds like. Basically what Ms. Canning says at the end.

[CrystalFlames]

Cindylou's accent sounds like a cross between Irish and Indian. I kind of like it.

[perquy1243]

exactly wat i was thinking it didnt sound central european at all

[wjm988]

what a perv!!!

[dcharmed27]

its not an ACTUAL foreign accent people, it affects the fine motor movements required to make the phoenetics your tongue is used to, some people with FAS have no involvement of the language 'speaking' areas of their brain at all,shes still speaking the same, just her mouth can't make the proper words

[SuperMario3442]

@dcharmed27 It also affects the brain.

[Elyazateran]

hah, no one asked her to give her daughter such a weird name.

[Tuppington]

wow its such a medical mystery that they know the exact spot that got damaged!

[56jmoney]

How can you attribute that to a supposed second brain injury? All of the sudden, 17 yrs later, she gets a decreased blood supply. One would assume that she would impair her English accent, not speak a new one fluently - well, in broken English. She's not impaired, and I don't buy the medical professions response. Though, I have no idea how to explain it.

[meinvent]

beat her on the right side of the brain and itll balance it out

[bogey251]

Crave attention much? hahahaha
