The shocking diagnosis:

.

Triggers for madness:

.

Regina G. is in a neurorehab clinic, learning how to sit, stand, walk, eat and speak. The only word that the once so cheerful woman can bring to her lips at the moment is “beautiful … beautiful”, according to her son.

Beautiful is a complex word.
Sound it out. It's phonetically difficult to string together.
Complex lip movements.

A tongue-tooth click movement for the "tí".
The "fu" sound is an upper lip-tooth sound.

This is a dubious claim.

Sounds like "beautiful" bullshit.

I'm assuming she speaks german and in german beautiful is schön. idk if that makes it more believable or not.

It's a single syllable word.

The "shh" sound is a basic to almost all languages, and so is the "n" sound.

This is clearly a propaganda piece.
They all but tell the reader what to think.

It's probably fake news, and it's working at intended.

She's speaking German.

She's speaking German.

Really?

Because this crappy article says her son is quoting her saying, "beautiful".

Par for the course.

You can do some more research if you like. It just seems weird to get hung up on a detail like this. Journalists aren't very smart, they say things like this all the time.
