First language
KidzSearch Safe Wikipedia for Kids.
A first language (also mother tongue, native language, arterial language, or L1) often means the language that a person learns first.[1] It helps one understand words and concepts in the style of that language.[2]
Sometimes, first language means the language that a person speaks best (the second language is then spoken less well than the first language, etc.). Since first language, second language and third language then mean how well one speaks a language, a person can have more than one first language or second language.
