AFAIK, all the other verified examples of feral children,
none of them ever attained anything approaching even
average language skills.

she was kidnapped when she was five
before being abandoned in the jungle.

The typical 4-year-old child will have about a
1,500–1,600-word vocabulary.

It is likely she had a fully functional language capability
at the time she was abducted

Oh, OK, I guess I misread the timeline, I thought she was raised from near birth until she was 5 in the wild. then she was discovered.

In that case, I suppose it’s possible.

She speaks well, but she has a tendency of throwing her poop when agitated.
