When
Rehaan was three, he picked up hindi and urdu words. His family was
amazed at his learning speed. As years passed by, he kept on speaking some incomprehensible
words. Nobody in village understood what he spoke. The news spread like
wildfire. Media got involved and it was found that he knew twelve languages at
the age of ten. The world had found a new child prodigy. His fame grew wide and
far. When questioned about how he knew so many languages, little Rehaan
had no answers. Little did the world know that he remembered languages from his
previous births.
P.S. – Xenolalia is the ability to speak in a foreign language which a person has not learned nor been exposed to.
