VIDEO: Baby Talk YouTube Hit Is More Than Babble; Viral Video May Show Secret Twin Language Called 'Idioglossia'
by Elizabeth Sexton
A YouTube viral video hit has what Diane Sawyer calls “the sweet mystery of the universe.”
The video shows twin toddlers going back and forth in what sounds like a complicated debate of baby talk.
"ABC News" ran a story on video that explained the babies are absolutely communicating.
Simply put, linguist D. Kimbrough Oller of the University of Memphis, says the children are likely communicating “about perhaps the fun of having a conversation.”
The story also notes that twins often develop a secret-language referred to as idioglossia.
For the more than 3 million viewers (to date), the video seems to say a lot without actually saying a thing.
