Swedish: Mamma Hungarian: Anyu (no 'm' here. Probably to prepare young children for the fact that the language they are supposed to learn bears little resemblance to any other language in the world.) I think that babies tries out all simple vocal patters and when they find a real word (like mama, papa, amma or whatever) they get a lot of attention. That's the way they learn the language. /moliate
Two o'clock and walking through familiar London - Or what was familiar London before the cursor deleted certain certainties - I watch a suit and tie man giving suck to the Psion Organizer lodged in his breast pocket its serial interface like a cool mouth hunting his chest for sustenance, familiar feeling, and I'm watching my breath steam in the air.

The word MOTHER is English. In Malayalam/Tamil it's AMMA. In Hindi it's MA. The English variations include MAMA, MOM, MUMMY. They all have this M sound about them. Funny huh? Maybe it's natural for a baby to use an M sound to call it's mother. Maybe even the cavemen of the stone age had M sounding worlds for MOM Nish

Rubbish, my first word was 'antidisestablishmentarism'. "No, it's Mammy" my mother says. But even at age 3 I found this word too simple for my high intellect.

The word MOTHER is English. In Malayalam/Tamil it's AMMA. In Hindi it's MA. The English variations include MAMA, MOM, MUMMY. They all have this M sound about them. Funny huh? Maybe it's natural for a baby to use an M sound to call it's mother. Maybe even the cavemen of the stone age had M sounding worlds for MOM Nish
