Mother Tongue

The first language that you learn 
when you are a baby.
Rather than a language learned 
at school or an adult.

The language which a person has grown up 
speaking from early childhood.

Persons's local language.... That is,  
a language learned from birth. 
Also called a first language,
dominant language, home language
and native language
