Thread Name: BS: One country separated by one language
Subject: RE: BS: One country separated by one language
A friend of mine was once hospitalized with a manic episode. She was delusional and thought she was in Turkey. So, sensibly under the circumstances, she tried talking to the staff in Turkish (which she was fluent in). They thought she was more seriously ill than she actually was, making up an imaginary language.
