Humans, like most animals, are creatures of habit. As such, they often develop certain skills based on observation and practice. For babies, hearing others talk allows them to focus on the sounds and replicate them, eventually paving the way for speech.

Once babies can hear, they respond to sound. They cannot recognize words, but they enter the world capable of learning any language. Once the infant knows the melody, its next problem is the identification of units in the speech it hears. One way babies solve this problem is to use sound pattens to distinguish the beginnings and ends of words.


Why cant babies talk when they are born?

Language is a skill that must be learned. At birth, babies have neither the mental development for language, nor have they experienced it. As they age they will hear those around them speaking (if they can hear) and will learn to associate the sounds with the concepts and objects they represent. At the same time they will experiment with making sounds until they can duplicate the ones they hear. This process slowly becomes language.

Why do babies not talk?

Babies aren't born able to talk, but should be talking by 12 - 18 months. Think about it, what language would a baby talk if it could speak at birth? Babies are born with the ability to learn any language on the planet. So all over the world babies are being born just waiting to be taught how to talk their local language. Also, babies don't talk because the brain has yet to learn how to direct the muscles in the throat, mouth and face to make the right movements and the muscles need time and practice to become strong enough to make the right movements. This is why activities like chewing, blowing and trying to talk are so important. It is also the reason why pacifiers, soothers (or in the UK - dummies) need to be got rid of by the time a baby is 12 months old. They get in the way of baby practicing making sounds and they slow down the learning of talking.
