The dominant language is considered to be the one that children have the most exposure to. Most often infants do not produce a blend of language styles while babbling however, may switch between languages. Sometimes infants may choose which language style they prefer to babble in based upon particular features. [23]
This is the baby's way of practicing his control over that apparatus. Babbling is independent from the language. Deaf children for instance, babble the same way as hearing ones. As the baby grows older, the babbling increases in frequency and starts to sound more like words (around the age of twelve months).
Babies begin to babble in real syllables such as "ba-ba-ba, neh-neh-neh, and dee-dee-dee," [7] between the ages of seven and eight months; this is known as canonical babbling. [4] Jargon babbling includes strings of such sounds; this type of babbling uses intonation but doesn't convey meaning.
At this stage, infants’ productions resemble speech much more closely in timing and vocal behaviors than at earlier stages. Starting around 6 months babies also show an influence of the ambient language in their babbling, i.e., babies’ babbling sounds different depending on which languages
Deaf babies babble in the same patterns as hearing babies do, showing that babbling is not a result of babies simply imitating certain sounds, but is actually a natural part of the process of language development. Deaf babies do, however, often babble less than hearing babies, and they begin to babble later on in infancy—at approximately 11 ...
The child's own language skills develop with larger variation in babbling sounds, and elicit responses in conversation through babbling. From 7 months to the end of their first year babies are able to understand frequently heard words and can respond to simple requests.

By 2nd and 3rdmonth of their life, babies develop early consonant sounds like /k/ and /g/. The second half of the first year is the babbling phase where babies begin with repeated sounds like "babababa" or "mamamama". Infants vocalising more tend to develop stronger communication skills. [23] Early communication skills vary from child to child.
