Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Babies recognize key vowel and consonant sounds of their native language by 4 to 6 months. This ability is known as language discrimination, in which infants can distinguish between the sounds of different languages. Studies have shown that by 6 months, babies start to lose the ability to distinguish between non-native sounds, and by 12 months, they are highly attuned to the sounds of their own language.
