A woman from southern Ontario Canada, recovering from a rare brain syndrome due to stroke, starts to speak with a different accent, and this is the first reported cases in Canada. This woman’s family noticed the accent change while the woman was recovering from a stroke. Her Ontario accent now sounds like Maritime Canadian English.
Researcher Alexandre Sévigny, a cognitive scientist at McMaster University in Ontario said that this women never visited the Maritimes, nor has she been exposed to anyone with an East Coast accent. Karin Humphreys, a psychologist at McMaster University reported that the woman didn’t notice any changes in her accent. As strange as it sounds, the ongoing research at McMaster University will open a new perspective of FAS.
