> Thanks for bringing up this relevant topic--though not in the same vein as use of music to regain voice but use of music to learn a language-- I've observed here on our rez events at which local traditional Apache dancers and singers participate and saw young male singers who do not speak Apache but can sing rather fluently in Apache as do a couple of adult ones who can sing but not speak it. Does anyone on ILAT know of any articles on this type of language phenomenon? Also what would be the proper linguistic terminology to describe this type of language situation?

The video describes how she was able to regain her speech thru music thus demonstrating quite effectively the neurological link between music and language learning.
