Researchers discovered that French and German babies (60 were recorded) cry with the same "prosody" or melody used by their parents' language by the second day of life. French babies ended with an upward lilt at the end of their cry that was typical of French; German babies started off with an intense cry but it dropped at the end, more similar to the emphasis German adults put on a sentence.
