God changed our language when a few men were going to build a tower to the heavens when God decided he didn't like that so he changed their language so they couldn't communicate.
(P.S. I forgot why he didn't like that.)

Yes, your right and your smart for reading the Bible. Yes only two animals ever spoke one was the snake when the devil tricked EVE to eat the fruit. The donkey that try to prevent his master from going to another land when GOD wanted him to go to Baleem to worn the people of their sins. The master beat the donkey and the donkey spoke and said don't I always follow your instructions can't you see that angel in the middle of the road. The man could not see the angel that was waiting to kill the man because he was trying not to see about GODs business. The donkey love his master so much.
I am so glad to see so much smart children online.
Keep up the good work.

The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As men moved eastward,[1][[2] Or from the east; or in the east] they found a plain in Shinar[2][[2] That is, Babylonia] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.
6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel[3][[9] That is, Babylon; Babel sounds like the Hebrew for confused.]--because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
The Fall of Man
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

The story of the Tower of Babel is a myth. It didn't really happen.
Animals DO talk, just not with words. Ants use pheromones. Elephants use infrasonic sound that humans can't hear but that other elephants can hear from 20 miles away. Dolphins click to each other. Whales sing. Dogs have a different bark for every emotion. Gorillas can learn sign language.
Verbal communication isn't everything. Open your eyes to the wonders of nature.

God instructed mankind to fill the earth.
Genesis 1:28 NIV
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Those who made the tower do not want to scatter over the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11:4 NIV
Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
P.S. Parrots talk, dolphins communicate each other, so as some other animals, but I never heard animals communicate just like us.

God had nothing to do with it. There was no tower and none of that. Languages developed as people moved further and further from each other and set up their own societies.
Animals talk in cartoons. In real life, animals talk by making various sounds or actions.

I have a few theories about this...I believe that Adam and Eve were telepathic..that humans and animals could "know" what each wanted...Adam called the animals to him and named them....and the tower was an attempt to view the stars and chart their movements...we know so little..and think we know so much....God had a plan and the tower of Babel did not fit his plan..as for dispersing the races...maybe, but I think God just didn't want mankind worshiping the sun, moon and stars...back to the telepathy....there are remnants of this ability in mankind still yet...and once in awhile the animals still try and talk to us.

i'm somewhat searching ahead to this Ashes sequence and absolutely have not thoroughly written the Aussies off. even so England could flow into the sequence as overwhelming favourites with the aid of modern-day kind and the very incontrovertible reality that the sequence is being performed in England. I reckon Chris Rogers would nicely be somewhat a gloomy horse as he's popular with the circumstances over right here noticeably nicely. strong to ascertain some pleasant banter flying round between both gadgets of supporters too!

No, and the reason God confused language was because man was working together to show God that they didn't need him anymore. They were building a great tower to show the "greatness" of man. (Man is not great without God, the creator)

The creation creatures talk today, so ape descendents talk, why not just letem talk.. Did God give the apes a language that we haven't evolved enough to understand?? There are a lot of people that I don't understand and I speak their language.. Figure that one out.. Maybe they got out of the bed on the wrong side..

First of all, who is crazy enough to think they can build a tower to Heaven? How can you believe such garbage about languages?
As to animals, they have always talked to each other, and still do.

No, God confused the language of man, how do animals get in this?
