His father’s name is Lodaris and his mother’s name is Nike. He is the first son and do not have younger brother or sister. His mother is a housewife and his father is a teacher at one of elementary school in Moramo. He lives in a society which is very friendly to their family. He also sometimes being brought to Kendari in my house on weekends. In his society, he also communicate with other baby, but sometimes there is trouble to them, sometimes they fight, so his mother always stay on his side. He also likes playing with my little brother when he come to my house. His mother always teach him to say words correctly when he is speaking although he can not, but his mother always train him. When his mother go somewhere, to the market for example, he is being kept by his grandmother. He can’t  drink ice or cool food and drinks. He never get serious injury before.

It encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the formation and composition of phrases and sentences from these words), and phonology (sound systems). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds and nonspeech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived.
