I'm going to talk about an  article fromThe Daily Telegraph about an Englishman ( Alun Morgan ) who suffered a stroke and, when he woke up, he could only speak Welsh while he had never spoken that language before.

 He suffers from Aphasia. ( " ... individuals who were previously able to communicate through speaking, reading and writing become more limited in their ability to do so . ")
 

Moreover, he just lived a year in Wales with his grandmother who is Welsh. He was only 10 years old .
 

When we know that, we can suppose he didn't have enough time to learn this language and he was too young to remember some of  the words that he learned ...

Nevertheless, after his stroke, he just spoke Welsh and had totally forgotten English ...
So, we can understand that his brain learnt Welsh language during this year without Alun Morgan knowing it .

 

Perhaps Welsh replaced English language in his brain here.

 

That could be proved  when Mr Morgan says : " I've managed to remember English but I've almost forgotten Welsh again . "

Because, after his stroke, he spoke only Welsh and forgot English, and when he tried to speak English again, he forgot Welsh step by step .
 

But there is no explanation about that in this article, it's just my own interpretation.
 

The reporter explains that Aphasia is caused by damage of some brain areas responsible of making language ( Broca and Wernicke areas: Responsible of language comprehension, meaning. ).

This damage is the stroke ( : " blood supply to brain is cut off and areas starved of oxygen, brain cells die and damage can injured ." ) .
 

I found this article really interesting and complete : We can learn what is an Aphasia, how it works and the other cases who suffered Aphasia ...
 

But I think that something is missing :

What happened in the brain to speak suddenly an other language ?
 

Why did he speak Welch and not an other language like German, French or other that he could heard before too ?
 

Why, after his stroke, did he forget English and when he remembered English, he forgot Welsh again ?
 

I also found this article a little bit funny because uncommon and it makes me want to try "Aphasia" ( to progress in English, for example )     
 If it weren't a medical condition, it could be fun! Yet I would get unemployed!   Mrs P.

I know that's strange but, I think that's certainly a strange and fascinating experience.

Suddenly speaking with a Chinese accent or speaking currently Russian ... It must be exciting!
