Re:Are Any Words the Same in All Languages? by selcuka on Friday September 08, 2023 @12:33AM (#37429356)
The origin of "anne" is "ana" (/ˈa.na/), though, which is closer to "mama". Also it is hypothesized that "ana" was derived from the babble word "nana".

Interestingly "ana" replaced the older Turkish word "ög" around 8th-9th century which further deviates from the babble word, and is still used in modern Turkish words such as "öksüz" (without-mother, orphan).
