Lashon HaKodesh: Natural Language

Question

Hi,

Is there a torah/gemara source for the fact that children, left alone in their first years of life, would automatically acquire loshon hakodesh?

    While the Midrash teaches in Bereshis Rabbah 18:4 and 31:8 that Hashem created the world using Lashon Hakodesh and that Adam HaRishon spoke in Lashon HaKodesh, nevertheless, I am not familiar with a source in Chazal that suggests that when children are left to their own devices they will naturally speak in Lashon HaKodesh.
