If cows have regional accents, why not babies?

I’m a psych major but I’m so obsessed with language that I would have genuinely studied linguistics in school if I didn’t think it would make me lose interest in it 😭😭 when I first learned that babies raised around sign language will babble with THEIR HANDS, I was genuinely mind blown.

Babies brains are absolute sponges of almost black hole strength for language, it’s almost supernatural

My daughter often heard Mandarin Chinese as a baby. When she was around 10 months old, some Chinese people tried talking to her in English, and her facial expression was one of extreme scpeticism. The moment they switch to Chinese at my suggestion, her face lit up in recognition. At around that same age, she also witnessed two person talking to each other in an Eastern and Northern Norwegian dialect. She looked from one to the other in utter confusion, because they registered as completely different languages to her because of opposing patterns of intonation. She was already used ro hearing people speak different languages, but until then, she'd only observed people talk to each other in the same language.

I speak both French and English to my baby and I have definitely noticed their babbling changing depending on which language I use !

in Spanish, it is "Agú" (ah-GOO) for the sounds a baby does.

Why god :
this is amazing. my twin and i spoke our own language only to each other (later diagnosed autistic) but never spoke to anyone else, even our parents until after we learned to speak english and spanish around age 3. i wonder if we had accents in our own language! my parents never recorded our conversations unfortunately.

im a nanny and one family i work for is 2 moms. most babies develop the D consonant around "dad" and they babble with "dadadada". their daughter is babbling "dawdawdaw" because, while she doesnt have "dad" in her lexicon, they do have a dog. im so fascinated by it

Sukuna’s Object :
My niece and nephew were raised in Luxembourg, where they are already surrounded by 3-4 languages (lux, German, french, english) on a day to day basis, in a household that on top of that spoke 3 more (English, Italian, Arabic). A lot of people said we'd confuse them but they could very clearly tell them apart!! I'm by far the best English speaker in my close family so it was my duty to only ever speak English with them and they actually at some point changed their babbling when I was babysitting them alone! Their mom noticed on videos. Mom was the one speaking only Arabic, dad only italian and luxembourgish, grand dad almost only french and luxembourgish, etc. It was so fascinating to notice them adapt and change how they communicated with each family member. They are now 8 and 6 and basically fluent in 6 languages. I feel like it was the greatest gift we could have given them as a family.

No one is deaf but my granddaughter signed before she spoke words as she watched Mr Tumble with her brother and remembered important phrases like 'more'. She's a good speaker now (2.5 years) but still also uses her hands for some words.
