Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.

Speech may be altered in terms of timing, intonation, and tongue placement so that is perceived as sounding foreign. Speech remains highly intelligible and does not necessarily sound disordered.

FAS has been documented in cases around the world, including accent changes from Japanese to Korean, British English to French, American-English to British English, and Spanish to Hungarian.

Scary. Brain is a highly complex machinery and can do things beyond our imagination.

No, due to stroke or illness some muscle used for speech function stop working or damage cause change. Just like someone can’t walk normal after an accident even no bones are broken.
Accent is a combination of different muscles in our speaking machinisum whose strength we develop over time.
