The Smallest Child Who Spoke Just After few weeks of Birth – A Rare Medical Wonder

The ability to speak is one of the most amazing milestones in a baby’s development. Most children say their first real words between 10 to 14 months of age, after months of babbling. But in some rare and remarkable cases, a few babies have reportedly spoken much earlier—some even weeks after birth.

One of the youngest known cases is of Christian Dionisio, a baby from the Philippines, who allegedly said the word “Mama” at just two weeks old. His family shared videos where the baby clearly attempts to form the word in response to his mother’s voice. Though this kind of event is extremely rare, it amazed people around the world. Doctors and child psychologists generally agree that early vocal responses may not always mean real "speech" but can still show extraordinary development.

Another case involved a baby in the United States who reportedly said “hi” at six weeks old. The moment was caught on video and widely shared online. While such early words may be accidental sounds that mimic speech, they still spark interest among scientists and parents alike.

  • Newborns can recognize and respond to sounds from birth.
  •  Babbling begins around 4–6 months.
  •  First meaningful words usually appear by 1 year of age.
  •  Speaking before 6 months is considered extremely rare and may be influenced by genetics, environment, or early brain development.
Examples of Early Talking Babies:
  • Kim Ung-Yong: Born in South Korea in 1963, he started speaking at 6 months old and was able to read multiple languages by age 3. 
  • Charlie John Taylor Mullington: Parents claimed he repeated "hello" at 8 weeks old

Some researchers believe that babies who speak early often grow up to have strong language or communication skills, although early speaking is not always a predictor of future intelligence.

Although modern chess rules were established around 1475, the first formal chess tournament was held in Leeds in 1841. This was soon followed by a knockout tournament in London in 1849 and a significant event was held Amsterdam in 1851. The first true international chess tournament took place in London in 1851 during the Great Exhibition setting the standard for future global competitions and highlighting the need for time controls in chess.
