Identical Twins Have An Adorable Conversation

Identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg and therefore have the same genome, environmental factors can result in the siblings growing up to be vastly different. But while they’re still young and likely sharing the same environment, some very interesting things can happen. For example, have you ever heard of “twin talk?”

Twin talk is also known as idioglossia. Idioglossia is an autonomous language that is created and shared between twins. That’s right, twins can form their own lingo so that they can speak with each other before they learn a more formal language. In fact, according to one research study published in the journal of Institute of General Linguistics, about 40 per cent of twins make up their very own language.

The sounds that they make may sound like pure gibberish to us but it really does look like they’re beginning to learn how to communicate with each other. Plus, it’s totally adorable.
