By the time Adam and Eve arrived, what languages had already been developed by humans all over the place?

Question

what do you know?
recommended sources?

wonder if some history / language / literature buffs will add their insights.

Answer 1

well, if you believe in adam and eve, then you believe they were the two first humans so i'm not sure your question makes sense.

Answer 2

It's hard to know exactly what languages were spoken pre-Adam and Eve, but whatever the original native tongue of the 6th day or paleolithic people was is what they were speaking before Adam and Eve's arrival on the 8th day.

Too many Christians don't understand the difference between the creation of 6th day 'adam' or 'mankind in general' and 8th day eth-ha-Adam, or 'that man Adam'. If they cared enough to read it in Hebrew, they would see it, but so be it.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve where the first people on earth... therefore before them there were not any other language previously devolped, because there were not people to develop them. All people shared the same language until many years later when the races were devided at the tower of Babylon, when God seperated all the people to speak hundreds of different languages.

Answer 4

If you're going to believe in Adam and Eve literally, you have got to believe they were the first humans and there was no language for any of the non-existing humans.

Answer 5

There was no language before A and E...they made up all the world's languages between eating the apple and having all that sex that they weren't supposed to have.

Answer 6

um, technically adam and eve were the first humans on earth, so there wouldnt have been any languages developed yet.
