How does amnesia not affect language and speech?
In: Biology
Language and speech aren’t the same kind of memory as learning geometry. Your brain figures out what phonemes you need for your language before you’re a year old, and you’ll talk before you’re two. That’s the time when your brain is still rewiring itself, mostly cutting unneeded connections and also adding new ones. To some extent, your first language is hardwired in. It’s not just data storage.
