My mother was in a terrible automobile accident in the early 2000s. Due to damage to her temporal lobe, for the remainder of her life she spoke in what sounded like an Eastern European or Russian accent until she passed from bone cancer 10 years later. My mother was born and raised in Michigan (United States) and had no Eastern European or Russian background. The brain is a marvel.
