Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
The cross-linguistic similarities between these terms are thought to result from the nature of language acquisition.[1] These words are the first word-like sounds made by babbling babies, and parents tend to associate the first sound babies make with themselves. Thus, there is no need to ascribe the similarities to common ancestry of !Kung ba, Aramaic abba, Mandarin Chinese bà ba, Persian baba, and French papa (all "father") ; or Navajo má, Mandarin Chinese māma, Swahili mama, Quechua mama, and English "mama" (all "mother").
Or are either of you suggesting !Kung, Aramaic, Mandarin, and Navajo are all Indo-European languages?

Oerdin, you're wrong. In fact, mama and dada and variations are virtually universal in human languages.
OK, show the non-Indo-European root of the word. I bet I can find all sorts of Native American and Papua New Guinean languages which doesn't use anything close to those word.
Let's not a simple mistake spoil the entire thread. Here's a list of some English word of Scandinavian origin. You might even have used some of them today;

There is NO non-Indo-European root. what do you not understand?

Wow! According to the nazi named Lebanese the words for mother and father are the same in every human language ever found on the earth. Go put your head in a hole.

What does Lebanese have to do...
Okay. It's official. Oerdin's racist against Arabs. Makes perfect sense now.

Oerdin, mama and papa and variations are called 'false cognates'. They appear to have a common ancestor but have different roots. Some interesting examples include that wolf in French is garou and in Japanese it is garo. Mama and papa are special cases though because they are much more common and seem to have descended from baby babbling.

Oerdin is just racist in general, although I think his time in Iraq with the Coast Guard has given him a special hatred for Arabs.
Yeah you said the Coast Guard thing before but he's wearing an Army PT shirt in his profile picture.
