Russian—American linguist（语言学家）Roman Jakobson shares 39 he has found out. Maybe he is 40 .
“If you’re a(n) 41 making your first sounds, the easiest will be ‘ah’ because you can make it 42 doing anything with your tongue（舌头）or lips（嘴唇）,” he said.
“M” and “n” are also created 43 by opening and closing the mouth, so these sounds often develop next. In a similar 44 , the sounds that are closely related to “father”, like “p”, “d” and “t”, develop next. This could be the reason why, around the world, a child’s first words are often “ma” or “pa”, leading parents to be 45 “mama” and “papa”.
