      It's called "foreign" because it's foreign to them and their normal accent. It doesn't mean you sound like someone from a different country - although that does happen too. If you listen closely to only the audio of that woman's video recording and then only the audio of her reading the same words now, you'll be able to hear the differences.

    I guess I'll be joining the chorus of those who can't discern any foreign accent in these two women. Their speech is slightly slurred, but they still sound 100% American to me. By the way, a lot of people who have had a stroke have slurred speech, and this - believe it or not - is not the worst that can happen after a stroke.

    • @captainredclaw5864
      @captainredclaw5864 2 года назад

      It doesn't mean that they have different accents then American it means there voice changed to a different accent not normal to how they spoke before. So they may still have an American accent but it's not there accent.

    FAS means that it is different and has a distinct accent. I think you are taking the word foreign to literally. I had it and I sounded like a Jamaican person. It lasted about 6 months heavy but now when I get tired it starts. It never totally goes away. At first it sounded like someone else was talking so I would often stop because I didn't realize it was me. I had a stroke in 2008. it took about 48 hours before it started. So the nurses thought I was doing it on purpose. It took the speech pathologist to speak to them. I had others ask me "where are you from?"... "what part of the island are you from?" after a while I got tired of explaining so I just said "south". I'm from southern Indiana and had a country lilt to me voice.

    Guys, "foreign" is not to be taken in the social sense of it, it doesn't mean "form another country". In the medical field it means "different than the usual/average". The accent that they have now is alien/external/strange/different than the one they had before. This is what it means. It just takes two minutes of Google to not state bs.

    It should be noted that the syndrome doesn't mean they speak with a foreign accent, but that their brain to speech process is affected such that it changes their speech. It gets perceived as a foreign accent, hence the name, but it doesn't necessarily have to sound exactly like a clear foreign accent to be such.

    Maybe they sound different from their American accents before the trauma, but I don't think their accent sound as if they're lacking or anything. They still sound American.. but maybe not as similar as they were used to be. I've seen other FAS cases that has drastic changes on their speeches, like sounding very Chinese while speaking English or any other foreign accent. Hope they can just be thankful they can still walk and talk and breathe freely like a normal person. Don't get me wrong, I still think it might have been traumatic for them.. but hope they can just get over it.

    I think the reason why they seem a bit off and close to their original accent is because they are undergoing speech therapy to get back to their old accent

    I suffered a catastrophic massive stroke in 2008. I have a FAS. I has an Euro accent. I struggled with my grammar sentence structure in my brain. BUT. The Americans heard my European accent and they give me the chance to express myself, other using clumsy, looking-glass words. Verbs take place with the nouns. So on.

    Perhaps the foreign accent that develops after the health crisis is from their previous life. They revert back to the speech from who they were in their mostly recent past life before they were reincarnated in this life.

    I think there is a simple explanation for FAS, on you tube, there have been several instances of people who have recorded past life experiences, some many times over hundreds of years, sometimes in foreign countries, I could be wrong, but most FAS experiences don't happen when a person is awake, it usually occurr's after sleep, perhaps their brain has tapped into a PLE or past life experience whilst in its dream state and has not snapped back upon waking, hypnosis might be helpful in revealing cause and effect.

    It is not quite as clear in the women here, but in many cases the foreign accent is quite shocking. And some wonder if it’s just slightly slurred or different speech from the brain injury that we interpret as “an accent,” but many cases are so consistent with foreign accents that this is unlikely.
    It pre-dates the Internet, and while rare…is a real thing. I worked in Neurology and never saw this, but did encounter a patient with cortical blindness, where a stroke in the occipital lobe vision processing center makes people insist that they are blind, but they will walk around obstacles in their way, etc. If pressed to take a guess of what you are holding…they will guess right, while saying it was only a guess and they can’t see.

      @@Whatislamsayz Have you researched Near Death Experiences and Quatum jumping? I believe they all have seem to have an NDE in common. They likely had an altered state of consciousness just as we can access during hypnosis and past life regression. Looks like there's a glitch in the neurology of the person after the brain trauma. Let me know if you'd like to discuss further leads for your PhD.

    Maybe its a regional accent within America, that's why we can't really discern it. For example, somebody might be speaking in a "typical" American accent, and we wouldn't think anything is wrong, but it might be that they originally had like an Texan accent. Or maybe she had a typical "New Jersey" accent previously. who knows.

    The thing that baffles me the most (with very extreme cases)... is that: how do Caucasian people all of a sudden know how to speak with a Chinese, or thick Turkish, or South Indian accent if they haven't been exposed to it....??!
    It just doesn't make much sense. I'm willing to earn of course! An explanation that from a reputable source would be very welcome! But for me, since I've only been exposed to so much, if I personally were to suffered a brain injury - I could only begin speaking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Tom Cruise or Michael Jackson etc. since these are people who I've actually listened to over the years, and they're not a random region ....
    It just doesn't make sense: the Australia woman who speaks in a Chinese accent overnight. She MUST'VE been listening to many Chinese speakers over the years. The same goes for the English woman who speaks in an Irish accent now ....
    I really doubt it's possible to simply speak in that way without any point of reference.
    P.S. - I don't dislike any of these people, of course! If they're struggling with their "own" voice then that really is a shame! But it just seems very odd to me that can switch so accurately, and I'm a man of science and rational thought.
