I watched a film titled mockingbird don't sing which is based on the true story of a girl named genie who was locked away by her father when she was a child and never spoken to until she was found by the police when she was 13. Her case has been a crucial piece of evidence to support the crytical period hypothesis, as she has never fully been able to learn language.
So little is fully known about this as obviously it would be highly unethical to experiment on and feral children have no way of communicating what they have been through and what they know.
