Random information on the term “Native tongue”:
A first language, native tongue, native language, or mother/father/parent tongue (also known as arterial language or L1), is a language that a person has been exposed to from birth or within the critical period. In some countries, the term native language or mother tongue refers to the language of one’s ethnic group rather than one’s first language.
Sometimes, the term “mother tongue” or “mother language”(or “father tongue” / “father language”) is used for the language that a person learned as a child (usually from their parents). Children growing up in bilingual homes can, according to this definition, have more than one mother tongue or native language.
The first language of a child is part of that child’s personal, social and cultural identity. Another impact of the first language is that it brings about the reflection and learning of successful social patterns of acting and speaking.[clarification needed] It is basically responsible for differentiating the linguistic competence of acting.[clarification needed] While some[who?] argue that there is no such thing as a “native speaker” or a “mother tongue”, it is important[in what context?] to understand the key terms as well as to understand what it means to be a “non-native” speaker, and the implications that can have on one’s life. Research suggests that while a non-native speaker may develop fluency in a targeted language after about two years of immersion, it can take between five and seven years for that child to be on the same working level as their native speaking counterparts[citation needed].
