Why is 'mother tongue' called 'mother tongue'?

== In this case tongue means language. It is called mother tongue because it is the language spoken by the mother country in which you were born. In multilingual societies like Nigeria, Ghana and most African countries, mother tongue cannot refer to only the language spoken by the mother country. Mother tongue would mean the language the mother or caretaker passes on to the child. The assumption is that children grow under the eye of their mothers, hence mother tongue.
