not sure what OP meant, but it reminded me of the forced assimilation of peoples in a colonial setting, where a potential scenario is that
the grandparents speak their native language fluently, and the dominating language almost not at all
the parents speak both the native and the dominating language, but badly
the kids speak the dominating language fluently, and the native language almost not at all
So in that case the parents can be seen as not having a proper native language, because they have two languages they can sorta make work, but can’t fully express nuance and complex thought in either.
Some people don’t have one
Prayers going out to all the people without a native language 🕊️🙏
what??
how would that work???, living alone in the jungle until adulthood and only then learning?
or is a shit americans say kind of thing?

Then said language is not their native language.
The nativa language is the first one you learnt as a kid, the one your parents taught you.
So it is a “Shit americans say” after all.
That was a joke but I agree with Kazerniel
