That is a big mystery why he never did. Although he learned two words "lat" (milk) "oh, Deau" (Oh, God). It's true Victor was abandoned in the wild from human society. And at first many citizens believed that Victor was a deaf-mute even though he can hear pretty well (but never reacted to certain sounds or speech). It's true during his early captivity, he never understood speech. In Paris, Victor was examined to be mentally retarded from birth by Phillipe Pinel (a man who was an expert on mentally retarded and incurable individuals). A young medical student Itard saw a different opinion that Victor could've lived in the wild all his life and that's why he became mute. He thought because of the isolation Victor was kept in for so many years can be cured. But language can only occur in early childhood rather than in adolescence. Victor was about 12 years old when he was in the care of Itard. Some information nowadays say that Victor had severe autism and that was the reason why he never learned speech and he was never taught speech before in his time in captivity (because of the other rumors).

How did Victor the Savage of Aveyron die?

No one knows exactly-his cause of death was never written down. During the time, he lived with Madame Guerin and after Itard gave up on his case on educating him, Victor did lose his capacity of living as a savage but then lost the progress he made when he was Itard's pupil.

How did people believe Victor the Wild Boy of Aveyron was deaf?

Although Victor could hear, he was sent to the National Institute for Deaf-Mutes in Paris. It was reported he never reacted to certain sounds and speech. Itard soon found out Victor was not deaf, and some sounds had no meaning to him. And he possibly couldn't understand speech because of being isolated in the wild for so many years.


Was Victor the wild boy of Aveyron deaf?

There are many cases that people believed he was because he never responded to certain sounds and never spoke. But once after living in the care of Itard, Victor learned to understand words, tones of voices and Itard pointed out Victor was not deaf. He will always turn his head whenever he hears a vowel sound "oh". Itard gave him the name Victor. It was clear Victor can hear but just made no reaction to certain sounds-he did not understand speech in his early captivity. That assumes Victor was abandoned from human society from his early childhood.
