If you sense that she's actually losing language skills then I would take her post-haste to the pediatrician and get a speech assessment or an assessment for ASD.

Don't mean to diagnose - just when someone says their child's language skills changed in a regressive way when they were a toddler, my ASD antennae quiver.

Oddities of speech that seem "out of her control" should be taken seriously in my opinion. I think some of the suggestions offered have been really good ones and you should try them but if they don't work it may be time to consider alternative explanations.
