This also happens to the children under five  years  old.  They  use  their  first  language  to  communicate with  the  people around them.  In the age under five years old, the children have mastered at least 200-300 words. After getting their first language acquisition, they try to talk to the others.

they  needed  or  what  they  wanted.  In  the  other  words,  it  is  all  about  them, about their ego.  The  children  under  five  years  old  will  use  their  first  language acquisition to get the attention of the people around them. They try to utter in the way that they know.
