Certain features, such as pitch, melody, and articulation rates have the same properties
Researchers have found that 'baby talk' is a universal language.
Linguistic specialists, from the University of York and the Aarhus University in Denmark, analysed previous studies that looked at the sound properties of 'Baby talk'.
They found that certain features, such as pitch, melody, and articulation rates have the same properties across most of the world's languages.
Scientists say most caregivers speak to young infants using high-pitched, slow-paced, animated speech.
