For example, you have both parents speaking Polish and English. If a baby was born, what will his or her language be? Does it depend on the location of your birth?

Will the child be bilingual? How does it work?

A child doesn’t speak any language when it’s born, it only learns the language spoken around it. So if the father speaks spanish and spends more time with the child than the mother, the child might prefer to speak spanish. If the parents gave the child up for adoption immediately after birth, and it got adopted to Japan, it would start speaking japanese.
