Reply to 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
Ooh! One of my professors actually did some research on this. There are somewhat predictable patterns to the “foreign accents” that people hear. People with speech apraxia usually start speaking slower and with more fortition to manage their speech problems, which is why the accent that is perceived is pretty much always a language that has more fortition. Interesting stuff! If anyone is interested I can find their article
