Mamma is the formal English medical word for breast. Mamma is a reduplication of the much older Proto-Indo-European root *ma, breast or mother. This is not only the first sound uttered by many human infants, it may also be the most widespread word root in the world. *Ma forms the basis of the word for mother in many different and possibly unrelated language families around the world:
Why so widespread a word? The sounds of m and a are among the easiest to make and among the first sounds acquired by a human infant. The first noise in life associated with deep pleasure may be the sound made by the infant’s mouth sucking milk from the mother’s breast. This sound is frequently some variant of ma-ma. The slight smacking movement of the lips made in uttering an m-sound is similar to the lip movement required to suck a nipple.
But that is merely what the word mother means. There is no one way to express all an individual mother signifies. The sum of our sentiment is not contained in or exhausted by a mother’s day card. A certain Irishman lay on his deathbed and was asked by an attendant what he thought of life. Said the dying man, “I should have kissed her more.” So too with mothers.
It is not the oldest language, but it is one of the oldest languages still in existence.
Just for records, Sanskrit is a Pakistani language originating from the Indus Valley (Pakistan), Panini the Sanskrit grammarian hailed from the NWFP/NW Punjab area in Pakistan and only the people of Pakistan (and a few from northwestern India) are descended from the Vedic Aryans who brought Sanskrit to South Asia, most Indians just adopted their language, culture and religion but do not have genetic roots going back to them (this is proven by DNA testing and our phenotypes).
