Lynda Walker suffered a stroke and when she came out of it, her English accent was gone. Instead, her new accent is described as part Italian, Jamaican, Canadian and Slovakian -- depending on who you ask.

Walker, 60, who has spent most of her life in England, is upset by the change,  "It's strange because I open my mouth and this stranger's voice comes out. I don't like this accent at all. I feel like I've lost a big part of my identity."

Doctors explain that Walker is suffering from a medical condition known as Foreign Accent Syndrome. According to records, Walker is only one in 50 people in the last 65 years  who have been reported to suffer from this unusual phenomenon. The speech therapist believes this is a permanent condition for Walker, and the medical community speculates the cause for the change in accent has to do with brain damage caused by the stroke.
