| Croatian Girl Speaks Only German After Waking From Coma After waking up from a mysterious 24-hour coma, a 13-year-old Croatian girl could no longer speak her own language but was fluent in German, a language she recently started studying. British media reports say the girl can understand Croatian but can only respond in German and requires a translator to communicate with her family. Doctors can't explain the girl's condition, but experts suggest it may have something to do with damage to the language production centers of the brain, ABC News reported. |
