3. First languageA first language (also native language, mother tongue, arterial language, or L1) is the language(s) a person has learned from birth or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguistic identity.

Sometimes, there can be more than one mother tongue, when the child's parents speak different languages.
