not to be sappy on main BUT one thing that i really loved when studying linguistics was that the more important a word is, the earlier the concept of this thing was given a word. for example, the word water is similar in many similar languages (aqua, agua, água). so, the more important a word is, the more languages it’ll be similar across and the older this word will be, theoretically and generally speaking (many other things also affect this)

AND SO in my years studying linguistics, there was one word that was nearly identical across so many regionally different languages (though there are outliers of course), from europe to most of asia to subsaharan africa to indigenous languages. across nearly all languages this is the first word people learn how to say and maybe the first word humans in general officially named and defined:

mamãe - portuguese 

妈妈 (māmā) - chinese

ਮੰਮੀ (mamī) - punjabi

mamah - mayan (yucatec)

мама - bulgarian, russian, ukrainian

ماں (mäm) - urdu

মা (mā) - bengali

mẹ (may) - vietnamese

ママ (mama) - japanese

అమ్మ (am'ma) - telugu

mama - quechua

મમ્મી (mam'mī) - gujarati

അമ്മ (am'ma) - malayalam

amá - navajo

엄마 (omma) - korean

eme - native hawaiian

onam - uzbek

aana - yupik

mema - tagish

μαμά (mamá) - greek

mama - swahili

أمي (umi) - arabic

mayi - chichewa

माँ (ma) - hindi

mam - dutch

ម៉ាក់ (ma) - khmer

แม่ (mæ̀) - thai

அம்மா (am'mā) - tamil

අම්මා (ammā) - sinhala

amai - zulu

ama - basque

आमा (āmā) - nepali

အမေ (amay) - myanmar (burmese)

mamá - spanish

mom/mum- english

this isn’t actually the first word because we teach babies this word (most likely), but because the “mama” or “ama” sounds are the easiest things for babies to say, and it’s nearly always the only thing they can say at first, and adults across all languages defined their language around that.

babies all over the world for thousands and thousands of years all started out blabbering sounds like “mama” and mothers everywhere were all like Oh Shit That’s Me! I’m Mama!

Some of you: Well the rich don't actually have a lot of money. It's all stocks, possessions, WEALTH. Wealth and money aren't the same thing. You can't assume people have endless money just because they have a lot of stuff. Taxing the rich wouldn't be fair; there is no way they can afford to pay that tax!

Same people: If you call yourself poor but you have access to a microwave, oven, fridge, or laundry, you're not REALLY poor. You're basically rich, actually. Just irresponsible with money. Having a lot of stuff means you have a lot of money. Stop spending it on luxuries like bread and maybe you wouldn't be struggling so much!

People are sleeping on Raising Dion and that is a crime. I just finished the finale last night and it made me cry, which not a lot of media can do. The series as a whole addresses racism, ableism, toxic masculinity, being a single mom, and other stuff that I’m forgetting.

indigenous religions need to be acknowledged and treated with respect and so do indigenous sacred lands.
