IN WHAT LANGUAGE DO BABIES CRY?

From as early as the second day of life, babies cry to the tune of their mother tongue, according to the researchers from Würzburg University, in Germany. The researchers recorded the cries of 30 French and 30 German newborns, analysing frequency, melodic patterns, and pitch. The cries of French babies often began on a lower pitch and then moved  higher, while those of German babies often higher and then became lower. In both cases, the babies were mimicking melody patterns typical of the languages of their parents. Hence, it is believed that language development starts in the womb and that a baby's language starts with its earliest cries.  Stay tune for the next research article.
