My twin sister and I have a sister who is 17 months older, and she would continuously regress into baby babble with us and it always seems like we understood each other and would get up at the same time to go to another room.

There’s definitely evidence to conclude that baby babble is a rudimentary language between babies and children still young enough to understand

I’m a twin. Call me crazy, but I remember communicating as a baby with my brother. I even remember the exact situation.

I dated an identical twin for a hot minute. Her and her sister had a couple of sounds and hand gestures that only they understood. It wasn’t a whole other language like you’d see in a movie or a tv show but it was their own language. They mostly did it when they would argue because no one else could understand. Also, the sister didn’t like me so I got to see them argue a fair amount.

We twins have super weird connections. Love my brother to death, and we are a lot alike in many ways. But also very different in more ways.

Fun fact about me. I am a twin, my Dad is a twin, my Father in law is a twin. God help my daughter.
