Foreign Accent Syndrome, Maybe you are a sick Parent or a Complexed one, either of the two.

So in the course of my research, I found this!

Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.

Speech may be altered in terms of timing, intonation, and tongue placement so that is perceived as sounding foreign. Speech remains highly intelligible and does not necessarily sound disordered.

FAS has been documented in cases around the world, including accent changes from Japanese to Korean, British English to French, American-English to British English, and Spanish to Hungarian.

Some common speech changes associated with FAS include:

• Fairly predictable errors
• Unusual prosody, including equal and excess stress (especially in multi-syllabic words)
• Consonant substitution, deletion, or distortion
• Voicing errors (i.e. bike for pike)
• Trouble with consonant clusters
• Vowel distortions, prolongations, substitutions (i.e. “yeah” pronounced as “yah”)
• “uh” inserted into words 

Oh well!!! I think I have to do a video of my daughter speaking Yoruba.

What is wather? ( as in water: wu-ta, woo-ta)
It's either you teach your children how to speak English or you don't! This kind of practise amongst Nigerians will only be excused if you live in America else, you are a shallow parent.
It is proper education as parents to be able to decipher between good grammar, diction stress and articulation ( good english in short) and speaaking an accent, but I realised most of these parents who take their kids to where accents are being taught or who desire their children having foreign accents were deprived of certain privileges as children and want to make it up in their kids, and that is why you will see viral videos of innocent children being paraded by their parents to show how lush their children are, and I say absolutely not!

I work in a school and parents walk up to me and ask me, Ms Esan, can you teach our kids how to speak like you and I am like :I'm sorry, I can only teach them proper pronunciation and not an accent and they ask me what accents are and I try to give them examples.
You know, but a lot of inferiority complexed parents can't even be able to accept who they are and so they reach out to somewhere so far from them to make themselves complete. The problem here is that they pass on their inferiority complex on to their children and the cycle continues only if the children get to meet people like me ( Yes I'm a narcissist, I know!)

Teach your children to embrace the African or Nigerian accent if they are and live here let them speak their local dialect, educate them about the good african way of life and the bad ones also though, it is part of who we are!

It will be really bad if your kids have perfected the art of American English and only to get there they are still looked down upon, and they probably don't find any shoes to fit into, meaning out of place.
Most of all these accent taught in schools are the ghetto accents, awon Beyonce kind of English!!!

Have you ever listened to the Queen before? Her English is so clear and audible.

Beware of giving your child inferiority complex, all in the name of being western.
