Newborn baby will cry a few days with the intonation that reflects the language used by parents. Babies learn a language that is often heard that since the third trimester of pregnancy.

The conclusions drawn by researchers from the German is to listen to fetal native language during the last trimester of pregnancy will be laying the foundations of learning the language before the baby is born.

By analyzing the sound of crying newborns, the researchers found differences in voice intonation patterns between German and French infants newly born. The results of this study itself has been published in Current Biology.

"The findings of this study is the dramatic babies are preferred to produce distinctive patterns of melodies have often heard in the fetus during the last trimester of pregnancy," said Kathleen Wermke senior researcher, from the University of Wurzburg, as quoted by AP.

Most of influence given may come from the mother. Although the fetus can hear his voice, but this mother's voice can be transmitted through the vocal cord vibration.

School of Public Health. "We know that the mother's voice is the most prominent in providing an external stimulus to the fetus," says Janet DiPietro, development psychologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Researchers recorded the cries of the 60 newborns with the parents who spoke French and German, this baby aged 3 to 5 days. A sound pattern analysis shows a difference in the melodies of crying baby.

Newborns from French parents tend to cry with the sound contours from low to high while the baby from the German parent has a sound pattern changes from high to low.

Previous research has shown that the fetus is capable of forming memories in the womb of the important things in the early learning process. Besides the changes will usually occur when the baby's heartbeat sound often heard (familiar). Memories may occur early in the third trimester which is the starting point of the hearing system began to respond to acoustic signals.

There is nothing wrong for parents to more often take the baby in the womb to speak during the third trimester, it can be used as a stimulus and make a baby learns language used by parents.
