The word "Ma" sounds familiar?

say........we all have mothers, in all colors, countries and in languages...I know a few languages, and almost all of them use their "mother" sound sounding "Ma" as the principal stress...sometimes the words for "mother" or "addressing" own mother in native languages in adult and child a like is strikingly similar. I'm not talking any 'origin" here, I would rather wonder a motherly connection on the universe..Like........say.....something universal. Doesn't it make you wonder...'why?' Moms may know the best answer........who ever reading this from where ever.....

    I suppose that is the sound that could be easily produced

    when mouth is closed and opened by an infant.

    It is a way of teaching to call the immediately attached

    person in need that is mother. It's mother's care.

    It's the mother who enjoys the conversations of infant

    in it's unknown languages.
