Countless numbers of twins are known for their parallel mannerisms, such as being able to know one’s “thoughts and emotion” and communication with others, that they display to the public due to the relationship they share which sets them distinctly apart from the rest of society.

As twins grow up, some create their own language that which they can only understand, known as “idioglossia or cryptophasia;” however these twin languages that are created are results of one co-twins delayed or poor speech development (Neer 8). Because twins feel obligated to one another, if one twin has trouble with pronunciation of certain words or sounds, the other twin will choose to mimic the other twin and they will understand what they are saying, but others will just consider their speech as gibberish. A pair of twins that had demonstrated a similar but different case, with the creation of the “twin language,” is June and Jennifer Gibbons who had shockingly never spoken to anyone else but each other their whole lives (NPR 2015). This pair of twins had only felt the need to rely on each other for help, and had even taught themselves how to write, something that normal siblings would typically rely on others for.
