At a guess, no child there was ever allowed to speak? Maybe if spoken to but only short and to the point? The rest of the time it had to be silence, or you'd get chained up same as if you'd snuck some food. So proly same as deafness, you don't learn any voice inflection so you accent, strange to us, parts of words. Seems like they mention they taught themselves to speak. And I think it was said this went on for 30 years? Simply horrifying. -WW
