I can understand some French, Spanish and German and it sounds nothing like those. It's full enunciated sentences with inflection. She's done it four times, she never wakes up or remembers it in the morning.

Answer 1

It's called somniloquy and it's pretty common. The parts of the brain that control speech are "offline" and probably some that control tone. Scientists have studied sleeptalking as a disorder but it turns out most of us do it at some point in our lives.

Answer 2

There are two distinct possibilities. Consider each.

1) Your baby daughter is possessed by Satan, or
2) You are an idiot

If we apply some logic here, we can arrive at the truth. Now, in my own vast experience, I haven't met a single soul who has ever been possessed by Satan. There are, however, quite a few idiots about. Do the math. Use a calculator if you have to.

Answer 3

Yes, my son does the same thing. He talks alot in his sleep and sometimes it isn't understandable and sometimes it is. He seems to go about the days event in his sleep. He use to be a sleepwalker but not anymore. I wouldn't worry too much about it. She might outgrow it.

Answer 4

don't be alarmed she is speaking in tongues the Holy spirit is within her and through her is speaking please, read the Bible if you are christian and there lies your answer. her voice will sound completely different as thiugh someone else is talking again forget some of the idiotic answers posted no harm will come to her or your family

Answer 5

They say that when we dream sometimes our past lives resurface. Like when a young child is having night terrors, you are supposed to tell them that it is okay it is just a past life and to tell it to go away.

It could be just jibberish and it is not affecting her sleep I would not worry about it.

Answer 6

Is it a real language or just jibberish? If it is just jibberish i'd chalk it up to dreaming. However, if it really is a language, I would attribute it to past lives resurfacing. No harm in it.

Answer 7

I had a friend who did this and also walked around in his sleep. He scared us all pretty bad one night. I didn't sleep all night because I thought he might hurt me.

Try a sleep study. They hook you up and find out what's going on.

Answer 8

See if you can find out what language it is, and find someone who speaks the same language to translate.

Answer 9

demonic possession, reliving past lives or one hell of an great imagination or she has lost her mind one of those four take your pick i say number 2 if shes young

Answer 10

Are you and your family very religious? She could be speaking in tongues and if so she wouldn't remember it.
