Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as the pre-linguistic stage, the first stage of language development often occurs between zero and six months. Children in this phase don’t have developed language skills, so they communicate with sounds. They cry, make cooing sounds and utter nasal murmurs as their vocal tracts develop.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage of development in the process of children learning to use language is the pre-linguistic stage. Babies use this stage to learn how to communicate with others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 0: Crying It’s important to note that before any kind of speech development begins, babies use crying as their most primal means of making themselves understood. And while crying is not really language, it is still a form of communication.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cooing. To start with, your baby will still use crying as their main means of communicating with you, but will then start to extend his range of sounds. This is when your baby starts to make ‘cooing’ noises which develop alongside crying. There is a great variation in the types of sounds made.
