Up to age 1, a child is called an infant. The term is derived from Latin which means "being without language" (in= "without",fant = "speech"). To some people of Africa, a newborn child is a kuntu, a "thing", not yet a muntu, a "person". ' Based on the thought, a child needs language to become "human". Of course, the word "human" here is not meant literally but more likely from psychological point of view since the language is used as a marker of someone's maturity.
