From the The Telegraph (UK)...
The girl, from the southern town of Knin, had only just started studying German at school and had been reading German books and watching German TV to become better, but was by no means fluent, according to her parents.
Since waking up from a 24 hour coma she has been unable to speak Croatian, but is able to communicate perfectly in German.
Doctors at Split's KB Hospital claim that the case is so unusual, various experts have examined the girl as they try to find out what triggered the change.
I have my doubts about this but at least I learned a new word, xenoglossy, and was introduced to the bizarre case of Iris Farczady.
