What is the origin of the name "Mom and Dad" in China?

First, the word "dad" exists in about 70% of human languages, with similar meanings, which may be the first word spoken by ancient humans.

Anthropologists have been speculating about the original language form of human beings through various methods. A few days ago, French anthropologists said that because the word "dad" exists in about 70% of human languages and has similar meanings, it is probably the earliest word that ancient humans can speak.

At present, there are many nouns with similar pronunciations and meanings in more than 6,000 kinds of spoken languages, especially words like "mom" and "dad" which refer to relatives. Some linguists speculate that these words have been used for at least 50,000 years since the formation of ancient human languages. However, because these experts have not determined the frequency of these words in distant language families, they cannot confirm the above assertion.

However, according to the latest issue of New Scientist magazine, scientists from the French Federation of Linguistics and Prehistoric Anthropology recently conducted a survey on the word "dad". They found that this word basically exists in 14 major language families. In 7 1% of the languages studied, the word "dad" means father or his male relatives. Scientists in charge of this research believe that there may be only one explanation for the unity of "dad" in various languages: "dad" is the first word that human ancestors can say.

In addition, a linguist at the University of Pennsylvania said that because babies are likely to associate the first sound they can pronounce with their parents, the meaning of the word "dad" is basically the same in all languages.

Second, the first "mom" is the simplest pronunciation, which is the natural result of the baby's mouth opening and exhaling, and the second simplest pronunciation is "dad"!
