Reply to comment by shiftdnb in TIL about the foreign accent syndrome (FAS), which is a speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is usually caused by damage to the brain from a traumatic injury or a stroke. by Imaginary_Emu3462

What the article is talking about is taking sudden brain damage, like getting hit in the head, and suddenly you sound like you have a foreign accent.

There’s a video of a guy accidentally crashing his bike into a guy working on his car. You can hear his accent change from before he got hit to after. The change is permanent
