More about this:

-- Her name is apparently Alyssa Kramer, a 14-year-old from Poteau, Oklahoma. Video was posted June 10, 2011, and only "went viral" around 28 January 2012.

-- Makes an appearance on the Today show.

-- Might be saying "Huh?" to stall for time.

-- There's at least three ways of saying things backwards. You can pronounce a word as it sounds when played in reverse. You can pronounce the phonemes in reverse order. Or you can do what Alyssa apparently does -- see the word written in reverse, and pronounce it as if it were a normal English word spelled that way (for instance, she pronounces the last "e" in "garage").

-- Isn't 100% consistent. Sometimes misses words, and doesn't consistently follow the rule of pronouncing words as they would be pronounced if spelled backwards (for instance, says "izpep" instead of "isspep").

-- Useful discussions (including info about other people with the same or similar skill) at MSNBC and Language Log and Daily Dot.
