linggwistang si A.S Diamond (2003) na ang tao ay mga unang tao ang mga hayop sa pamamagitan ng
natutong magsalita bunga diumano ng kanyang mga mahikal na tunog na kalaunan ay naging
puwersang pisikal. pangalan ng bawat hayop.

TEORYANG TA -TA Ayon sa teoryang ito, ang Teoryang Eureka! Sadyang inimbento/nilikha
kumpas o galaw ng kamay ng tao na kanyang ang wika ayon sa teoryang ito ayon kay (Boeree,
ginagawa sa bawat partikular na okasyon ay ginaya 2003). Maaari raw na ang ating mga ninuno ay

kumakampay ang kamay nang pababa at pataas bagay.
katulad ng pagbaba at pagtaas na galaw ng dila
kapag binibigkas ang salitang ta-ta.

Teoryang Mama - Nagmula ang wika sa mga

pinakamadadaling pantig ng pinakamahahalagang
bagay. Pansinin nga naman ang mga bata. Sa
una’ y hindi niya masasabi ang salitang mother
ngunit dahil ang unang pantig ng nasabing salita
ang pinakamahalaga diumano, una niyang
nasasabi ang mama bilang panumbas sa salitang
mother.

Teoryang Hey you - Iminungkahi ng linggwistang

si Revesz na bunga ng interpersonal na kontak ng
tao sa kanyang kapwa tao ang wika. Ayon kay
Revesz, nagmula ang wika sa mga tunog na
nagbabadya ng pagkakakilanlan (Ako!) at
pagkakabilang (Tayo!). Napapabulalas din tayo
bilang pagbabadya ng takot, galit o sakit (Saklolo!).
Tinatawag din itong teoryang kontak.

Teoryang Coo Coo - Ang wika ay nagmula sa mga

tunog na nalilikha ng mga sanggol. Ang mga tunog
daw na ito ang ginaya ng mga matatanda bilang
pagpapangalan sa mga bagay- bagay sa paligid,
taliwas sa paniniwala ng marami na ang mga bata
ang nanggagaya ng tunog ng mga matatanda.

Teoryang Babble Lucky - Ang wika raw ay

nagmula sa mga walang kahulugang bulalas ng
tao. Sa pagbubulalas ng tao, sinuwerte lamang
daw siya nang ang mga hindi sinasadya at walang
kabuluhang tunog na kanyang nalikha ay naiugnay
sa mga bagay-bagay sa paligid na kalaunan ay
naging pangalan ng mga iyon.

Teoryang Hocus Pocus - Ayon kay Boeree

(2003), maaaring ang pinanggalingan ng wika ay
