Line 47:
* In a small arc in season 6, Sun-Hwa Kwon of ''[[Lost]]'' manages to lose her ability to speak English. Only she can still write in English, so there's no barrier to communication, and she's fine three episodes later. This is, unsurprisingly, generally considered one of the more pointless story arcs in the series' history.
* This happened to the cast in the ''[[So Weird]]'' episode "Babble", due to their exposure to a stone from the tower.

* In the ''[[Scarred Lands]]'' setting, the Slarecian Language Virus is an odd disease or curse (hard to say which) can infect anyone who tries to use magic or even rudimentary means to decipher the language of the Slarecian, an extinct species of evil sorcerers. An infected victim's language is changed to that of the Slarecians (which is gibberish to most natives of Scarn), meaning he can only understand or be understood by another infected victim, and all written language other than Slarecian makes no sense to him. Victims do not realize what has happened to them, as what they say sounds perfectly clear to them. Even worse, this disease is incredibly contagious; anyone who listens to an infected victim risks also becoming infected.
