Or the informal Mom and Pop.
In Thai Mom is "Mehh", an M + an a as in "bag".
Dad is "Paw" as in a dog's paw.

I thank everybody for their answers.
What I noticed is that in many languages, even those not related, mother has a "M" and dad has a "P,B" (both closely pronounced) or a "T".
Maybe infants use a "M" sound first. Don't know, just theorizing.

For those of you that answered in foreign writing, how the hell am I supposed to know?
