How will you Define 'Mother Tongue'?

Question

correct explanation of mother tongue

Answer 1

I assume you're talking about the main language a person speaks.

It is the primary language that a person is brought up to speak. In an English-speaking country, most people's mother tongue is English. However, if someone who has lived in this country all his/her life has parents from Italy (for example) his/her mother tongue would be Italian, if they spoke it at home all the time, or Italian and English if he/she was brought up to speak both equally well and fluently.

Answer 3

The term 'Mother tongue' has undergone much change. These days, a man is multi-lingual. Gone are the days, when we would be knowing and speaking only language. Now, at least in the urban centres, a person is multilingual. A language to speak at home, a language with friends, one at the work place and one more for reading and for literary interest. Hence, it is difficult to say that you speak one mother tongue. May be it is safe to define 'mother tongue' as a language in which you speak to your mother or at home.

Answer 4

First language (native language, mother tongue, or vernacular) is the language a person learns first. Correspondingly, the person is called a native speaker of the language. Usually a child learns the basics of their first language from their family.

This is the slang definition:
Profanity, especially when used to berate another person.

It is what your mother teaches. If she speaks English (despite Hindi being her mother tongue), you will pick up english only. Honestly, speaking, then you will not have any mother tongue. And yet while filling up the column of mother tongue i an application you will put Hindi (not English) - i.e. what your mother's mother tongue. So your mother tongue is actually your mother's mother tongue.
