There are thought to be only 60 cases of Foreign Accent Syndrome in the world. People who have it start speaking with an entirely different accent.

Kay Russell, from Bishops Cleeve near Cheltenham, suffers from the extremely rare neurological disorder. After a serious migraine, she woke up with what sounds like a French accent.

Doctors believe it is triggered following a stroke or head injury, when tiny areas of the brain linked with language, pitch and speech patterns are damaged.

  • why does this only happen to women?? havent seen a man yet...

  • @6060HarryPotter Actually I am entitiled to my own opinion and yes, I can only dream of having this. This is something that I want. I'm sorry if that offended you but I wasn't talking to you... And I was not being a "dick". I wasn't even trying to offend anyone. It's a sad day when someone in this world can't express their thoughts without some ignorant person screaming at them for no apparent reason. I can see that you're hurting inside but taking it out on someone is no way to go about it.

  • @musictobuy Did I Say You Was A Boy urmm...NO....And Its Not A Opinion You'r Just Being A Dick :'/

  • @6060HarryPotter First of all I'm a girl. Second of all there's no need to get all riled up and upset about my opinion. :) Oh and capitalizing the first letter of every word is wrong. You should probably get that fixed.
