From the link it appears that while this is an interesting medical story, there is nothing supernatural about this.
He has amnesia, a known medical condition and the speaking Swedish could have a very simple explanation... "Authorities are still unsure of his birthplace, listed on his ID as Florida - photos show him in Sweden at a young age."
Nothing unusual about being bilingual... from what I understand, each language a person speaks is laid down independently in the neurons of the brain. If one path becomes too damaged to function, the other path might still be just fine.
There is an alleged case of a young woman who started speaking ancient Hebrew. Where could she have picked that up from? It is possible she studied it. That part would have been left out of the reports as it would have negated the 'miracle' that it was claimed to be. Then again, it could be a hoax.
Cases like these are fascinating. But yes, I don't see much cause for a supernatural explanation. Scientists are still figuring out how our brain works, and they have barely scratched the surface.
But hey, if you're going to wake up speaking a new language, why not Swedish?
