    First language, also known as mother tongue, is generally the language a person learns first. However, one can have two or more native languages and be a native bilingual or indeed multilingual. The order in which these languages are learned is not necessarily the order of proficiency. Not having enough first language skills often makes learning other languages difficult. Studies have shown that cognitive development as well as intellectual development is comparatively faster in those who are fluent in their mother tongue.

    A child often learns the basics of his or her first language or languages from his or her family. Indeed, native language is the language which a child starts hearing after being born and thus, it also helps in providing a definite shape to his or her emotions and thoughts.

   The term mother tongue, however, should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language of one’s mother. For example, in some paternal societies, the wife moves in with the husband and thus may have a different first language or dialect than the local language of the husband. Yet, their children usually only speak their local language.

He wants to “reduce the risk of many children and teachers becoming infected through gathering for long hours every day.” The government said it would urge public services and private companies to make it easier for people to take time off work to look after their children. An angry mother said: “I wonder if the government thinks it is OK to leave children alone at home for long hours.” She asked: “What’s the point of closing schools if parents are still commuting in packed trains in which passengers may have COVID-19?”
