Trilingual – sort of

January 18th, 2013

Does baby language count as a language? I mean the sort consisting of fixed words (such as “wauwau” for “dog”) that are not real words yet are used os consistently that parents and other regular care-takers will understand them as if they were.

In that case, our daughter is making trilingual sentences.

“Wauwau pas da?”

Let me explain: The dog in question (in the TV show Little Princess we let her watch in German) had run off after a ball thrown very far and was gone for most of the (ten-minute) show.

wauwau: dog, baby language (“mau” has already been replaced by “chat”)

pas: not, French

da: there, German
