  • In January 2022, Zoe Coles was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder after waking up with slurred speech. However, 6 weeks ago, she woke up with what she described as a German accent, which over the last 6 weeks has morphed into a Welsh one! As an English woman with no connection to Germany or Wales, Zoe joins us to explain how this has affected her life, and why it might not be all bad. Dr Sara joins alongside to explain the science behind this bizarre occurrence and how Zoe might have picked up a 'Welsh' accent.

    I also have FND and part of it is suspected Foreign Accent Syndrome. I would be SO grateful to meet this woman. I never thought I'd hear of another person with a condition this similar to mine. I can assure you, it's real and it is 100 times more complicated than they had time to explain.

    A neurological disorder can cause speech alterations.
    Her initial speech pattern was sharp and irregular, sounding more Eastern European.
    Now it's softer with a slight inflection that does to a certain degree resemble a Welsh accent.
    But it's not a true Welsh accent.

    It doesn't sound exactly Welsh but almost a mix, I do hear a bit of Wesh, but also Geordie, South African and Brummie. There may be some Danish, German or Dutch thrown in but it's so varied that you can't pick one accent

    As a Welsh person I don’t think she does sound Welsh ,yes she shortens her words and her voice has a lilt but she sounds like and English person trying to copy a Welsh accent .The only time she sound Welsh is when is when she says “catchment area”.It is strange when this happens to people,she actually sounds like the accent we heard in old 1940 films when English actors played Welsh characters and over did the accent.

  • @Michelle_Schu-blacka
    @Michelle_Schu-blacka 11 месяцев назад +13

    I would imagine it's something to do with the effect of how muscles work to produce speech.
    A change in the way the muscles are activated because of a neurological issue will produce a different sound and thus, different accent, which could be any accent that exists or something that doesn't.
    In any case, our brains will place the new accent with something we already know. Like how the Barbadian accent is similar to a West Country accent and there's similarities between Canadian and Scottish.
    In her case, it's not a thick accent anyway, but I would definitely place it as Welsh, which is a pretty sexy accent, so it's not all bad for her.

  • @tamarasanders9574
    @tamarasanders9574 4 месяца назад

    I wonder how often you would have had to hear the accent to have it appear, I am assuming, from one's subconscious? I have occasionally heard Bryn Terfel on videos, but I cannot right now distinguish ow her "Welsh" accent is different from her normal accent, or from Cornish accents from "Doc Martin". Presumably you would have had to have heard the accent enough to at least recognise it. Really fascinating.

    People with FND don’t usually make a big song and dance of it because it’s disorienting, scary, and a bit embarrassing. It challenges who they are, and people come at them for fakery or worse (like racism in the case of an American who developed a Chinese accent).
