There are no words that sound the same in every single language, but here are some words or syllables that are common in a lot of languages:

Words referring to "mother" often contain an "m" or the syllable "ma" or "am," e.g. "mama," "amma," etc.

Words referring to "father" often contain a "b" e.g. "baba," "ABBA," or "p," e.g. "papa."

In addition, most languages have borrowed Latin- and Greek-based words in science and technology that are often quite similar in a very large number of languages, e.g. "television," "microscope," etc.
