Stroke gives woman foreign accent



Lynda Walker from Newcastle woke up one morning and realized she had
a jamaican accent. The 60-year-old may have the so called Foreign Accent Syndrome,
where patients speak differently after a brain injury. So far there is only 50 known cases.
She says: "I didn't realise what I sounded like, but then my speech therapist played a tape
of me talking. I was just devastated."
