This has to be one of the weirdest stories ever. How rare is this?

I sometimes start speaking Spanish when I drink too much tequila...

I have a relative who had a terrible stutter until he had a brain aneurysm - the stutter is gone and acquired a quirky accent for a New Englander.

My first thought was stroke.

There are other causes as well, mostly neurological. One engineer I had worked with struggled hard to speak, and later on was completely unintelligible. He had to use a notepad. My first thought was that he had a stroke, however that was not the case. He died a year after he retired.

I’ve spoken different languages in my dreams. Seriously. Strange experience.

Years ago I read about a syndrome accompanying certain kinds of brain damage that would cause an English speaker to do so with a French accent. {Cue the obligatory French joke.}

It sounds goulish, but neurological researchers live for this kind of information. They can't get it by direct experimentation, unfortunately, unless they're Hannibal Lecter.

Isn’t speaking with a *fake* accent racist? I mean, I know it’s fun and all, and it’s okay if it’s a southern accent (as long as you’re making fun of southerners), but I thought any imitation of any other accent was hateful, bigoted racism in this PC world we live in, regardless of intent?

[Gay State Conservative]

I've heard of cases where after a person has a stroke or a serious head injury they suddenly develop foreign accents.Apparently it's real.
