Abstract

Mother-tongue is the language that a child learns in his mother's lap. It is the language which the child learns almost without any conscious effort on his part. It is a language which the child acquires while living in his own social group.A first language (also native language, mother tongue, arterial language, or L1) is the language(s) a person has learned from birth or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguistic identity. The word “mother” means the prime care giver (female or male) of a child. “Tongue” in this sense means the language that is primarily spoken by this caregiver. Therefore, when the words “mother and tongue” are analyzed, the question is asking for the process by which a child learns or develops his primary/first language.

Keywords
