Secondly, I'm sure as a cost-saving method, the top portion of Nomad is the same bottom portion of the cloaking device in The Enterprise Incident.
I watched The Enterprise Incident earlier this week.
Here are (albeit Corel Draw versions) the M-4 (from Requiem for Methuselah), Nomad and the Romulan cloaking device (The Enterprise incident) for comparison.

Uhura speaks Swahili and English, and Nomad wipes her memory clean so that she can't talk at all.
I think it is understood that "wiped clean" wasn't exactly absolute. She had her higher order functions scrambled a bit and required retraining to recover their use. However, I do not believe it is canon that she started over from scratch there from a memory standpoint.
It was to differentiate between a mental "death" and a "physical" death - the first (Uhura) of which nomad couldn't fix and the second (Scotty) which he could. He said there was no damage to Uhura - had he "damaged" her, he could have fixed it.
At least that is the way I've always interpreted it. As she had known Swahili longer, she recovered that before English - makes sense.
