If you have been a local all your life, but have a mysterious foreign accent that cannot be traced, you are officially suffering from a disorder. Very few would deny giggling softly at their colleague’s on-again-off-again American accent and apparently, it is more than just idiosyncrasy. It could be a disorder called foreign accent syndrome.

It is an unusual condition that may be genetically transferred or be caused as a result of trauma or migraine.
