"Baby" was the name the Eleventh Doctor gave to the language spoken by human babies. It was spoken by infants Melody Pond and Alfie Owens. It appeared to be a one-way language, spoken by babies and heard by the recipients. The listener — in these cases, the Doctor — responded in standard English, which the babies seemed to be able to understand.

Judging solely by the Doctor's responses, "Baby" was a complex language that had complete grammar and a wide vocabulary that included many colloquialisms. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War, Closing Time)
