I know this is a crazy question, but now that I think about it, I want to know your opinions.
-
they're trying to tell you something, but just can't because they haven't learnt to talk yet. I think
-
For some reason, I think that they are talking in their own language, but we just don't understand.
-
Maybe it is baby talk.

_-_ Ye. I ask random questions like the one of this thread sometimes, don't I?
-
No they aren't talking in their own language. They are f---ing babies.
-
yes, yes, I know that they are babies, but try thinking outside the known. What if they are talking in their own language? Im trying to challenge my knowledge in a strange way.

From my understanding, babies/toddlers are making sounds in an attempt to communicate with you. However, since they're still in such an early stage, they can't pronounce most words, so it usually sounds like babbling. It's also part of the reason that you commonly hear babies say Mama or Dada. They only require them to make a single sound, they just need to repeat it.
I don't think that babies have their own language though. It doesn't make too much sense to me. Especially considering that their brains are still in the early stages of development, and they probably don't understand half of the things going on around them. -
thank you for replying intelligently. I was looking at all of the earlier replies and getting a little worried...
Babies hear people around them talk, communicate, etc. We talk a lot. We even talk to them, the babies. I think that when they hear us making noises with our mouths, they want to do it too. I don't think that they understand anything that we say or that they "say", they are just making sounds like we do. Over time, certain words are heard often enough that they start to understand what they actually mean, like Mama or Dada. But when they first start babbling they aren't trying to communicate. They are just making noises because it's about all they can do, and everybody else does it, so why not? -
When babies get old enough, approximately the age they are good crawlers and start cruising (walking sideways holding furniture) they start actually saying things. They have certain sounds that, when heard and thought about, can be understood. They are similar to our words. My baby brother is recently eleven months old, not yet walking and for a month or two I have been able to understand him. Some of his words are: Mama (obviously) Dada (obviously) Bubbu (Buh-buh, brother) Tss (sister) Mmm (milk, food) Datee (dirty)Baba (baby) Nu (no) Ggigg (good) Ut (out) He also has tones, such as: SCENE: I try leaving the room. Baby: Tss! Nu! Nu nu!" I come back. "Ggigg Tss! Baba mmm!" I feed him. He shrieks with laughter, banging on his high chair tray. "Ut! Ut!" I get him out. He plays.
So babies do talk, but sometimes they are hard to understand. When they first start it is babbling, but they are trying to form our words. When a baby is young they have to learn to control their limbs and their mouths, and without teeth they can't say our sounds.
Babies also understand you. Say, 'No' to a baby who has started cruising and their expression will either turn into shocked and sad or something like that or joyful and naughty or something like that. When you tell off a baby they will sometimes cry. But call them cute or funny, they will laugh and smile. When somebody's crying babies will try to comfort them.
