Introduction Baby language is quite hard to understand, as babies often speak words that may sound related to what adults speak, but different in pronunciation. Therefore, it is important to listen to babies carefully to grasp what they intend to say. In my study of baby dialect, I chose to observe Fahad, a three-year-old Arabic baby from Saudi Arabia. He lives with his mother, a stay at home wife aged 30 years, and his father, a 35-year-old teacher who teaches sign language to the deaf. Baby Fahad also has two younger sisters aged two years and seven months old. Fahad is a very active boy, which enables him to grasp a lot in terms of speech, and do so quickly. The analysis of this paper discusses Fahad’s grasp of Arabic dialect due to the influence of the Arabic language speakers around him. The paper also analyzes the conditions favoring his fast learning and the challenges he may encounter. Development of the dialect The baby’s parents both speak Arabic as their first language, which leaves him with only one language to learn. Hence, he has to pick up Arabic dialect. The boy continues to learn the Arabic language from his mother, who is always home with him. Fahad also picks up some words from the father when the dad returns from work. However, he cannot learn much adult Arabic from the younger sisters because they are still too young to have proper knowledge of the language. The result is that the Fahad’s dialect is affected by his younger sisters’ simple and toddler vocabulary, which slows down his learning of the Arabic language. Therefore, the environment favors his learning because his mother is always around to teach him. The baby also learns by imitation and picks up words from conversations between his parents. Since his father is a sign language teacher, he might not be much of an oral communicator, which affects the three-year-old’s acquisition of vocabulary.

TH from THALAJA Conclusion I came up with the conclusion that Fahad picked up the Arabic dialect as most of his words relate closely to the Arabic adult speech. Fahad’s surroundings and relations influenced his choice of dialect. The mother, father and the environment around him are Arabic, and their environment is dominated by Arab locals. Hence, Fahad’s dialect is heavily affected by the Arabic language. The baby’s mother played a big role in his choice of dialect as she is always in the house. The baby tries to say whatever the mother says as he feels she is always right. Therefore, it is important that the mo
