"Mother tongue” is usually the language we learn first. It is also called the first or native language. Interestingly, early language and emotional regulation systems develop at the same time – early childhood. Mother tongue is learned through ‘immersion’ in an everyday family context, which carries the full range of human emotions. Thus, utterances learned early in life become tightly connected with the brain’s emotional system. That is why mother tongue and emotions are tightly linked!
