The in-depth and arduous study of religions, philosophies, history, anthropology, astro-physics, metaphysics, spirituality, psychology, and about a hundred other branches of study should give you the answer to your extremely loaded question.
Or, you could forget all about it and just live in the moment.

Oh, come on! Pick one question and ask it!
Language develops slowly over time in a group of people that all communicates the same way. So, like, when African slaves were taken to Haiti, they spoke various African languages, so they learned a French pidgin language (kind of a simplified version of a language) and then when their kids grew up hearing pidgin French, the next generation created Haitian Creole. Not quite French, not quite African...something else entirely.
So you have a bunch of small groups who each speak their own language. Each generation changes the language and enhances it. Then the groups all wind up meeting each other at some point, what with nomadding and hunting and gathering and everything. Then they realized there were lots of different languages. Or, say, there was only one group of humans, living, oh, I don't care where. If they wound up moving away to form new groups, eventually, their language would change to the point that the original group wouldn't understand it anymore. Ta-da! New languages. As to what was the supposed "original language"--nobody knows. If you can figure it out, go collect every academic prize in existence. Nobody else has been able to do it.
ABC's (an alphabet) are a listing of letters to spell a language in writing. Writing isn't language--it's a rough representation of it, but it's a separate thing (not all languages are even written, so obviously, you don't need writing to be able to speak.) It's just an outgrowth of reading and writing and spelling.

God was always there...he was just never mentioned before the beginning. No one created him...he was just there. There are so many different languages because of the tower of babel. If you've never heard of the story it goes like this: Men were building a tower to try to get to heaven.Eventually God saw how well they were working together and realized that if these people wanted they could soon overtake him. He made every man speak a different language so they couldn't understand each other...the story goes on but anyway that's how the different languages came about.

No way did humans create God. God was before anything. He
created the heavens and the earth, the seas and the dry land,
the forrest and the desserts, the animals, the sun, moon, and
stars, and humans. Adam and Eve was his first creation's names.
There was only one language until God scattered the people and
gave each tribe a language of their own. He gave the original words and each generation taught their own offspring the language. It was so simple for God. You're making it quite
difficult with all the questions. The Manufacturer (God) left His
Book of Instructions (Bible) which has all the answers in it.

God has always been there was no creation of God he is the beginning and the end. If you read your bible there use to be just one language then the tower of babel happened and several languages were created. The people were trying to work together to build a tower all the way to heaven so they could find God and God didn't want them to do this so he caused their languages to become confused.

Doesn't seem like many people in hear even believe in God. I don't think that answer can be comprehended in our present plane of existence. It says in the Bible to not lean on your own understanding. You have to take it on faith. The same goes for evolution. Lots of theories on that but no conclusive proof. I listened to some archaeologists last year explaining their theories on a Colombian mammoth that was dug up in Clute Texas. One of the archeologist's was a christian and the other ones believed in evolution. They new and respected each other and had worked many of the same digs around the world. Ive got to tell you both theories sounded equally plausible. As far as the 100 languages or how ever many there are that came about during the building of the tower of Babble or so says the Bible. It sounded like the people got a little cocky and so God caused them to speak different languages

No one made God he has always existed. col 1:15 and Rev. 3:14
says the first spirit person was Jesus. then he made billions and billions of other spirit persons.
Trillions of years later he decided to create the earth and mankind.
Giving Adam and Eve free will they chose the wrong way.
Some of the spirit persons called angels chose the wrong way.
that is what happens when you give something free will you take the chance they will chose the wrong way.
He needed time to fill the earth with righteous people.
So he allowed them to continue and have a family.
But because of the badness of man and the length of time it was going to take to get enough good people to fill the earth.
If they advanced to much to soon they would come to the world situation we have today and kill there self.
So in Genesis 11: chapter it tells about a tower of babel.
God told them to scatter and fill the earth.
They said, no, lets build a city and a tower and make a famous name for ourselves. So he confused their language and stopped the building project and those who could understand each other went off and started whole new civilizations like they were supposed to do in the first place.

God has always been here, He is eternal. At one time there was one language. Man decided he would build a tower to the heavens and be like God. In other words man got too big for his britches, God didn't like it so he destroyed the tower and had everyone speaking in a different language, so this wouldn't happen again, so they would be confused and not be able to communicate. This was called the tower of babel.

Languages were created by God at the tower of Babel, when the people tried to build a tower to get to heaven he decided to mix there languages so they could no longer communicate and they spread out on the earth.
It may be hard to believe, but god has always been there no one created Him, we may not understand it, but He has.

The Bible is clear on mulitple occasions that God is the alpha and omega, the beginnning and the end. It states that before time began, God was and always has been.
We are bound by time and our perspective is trained to believe everything must begin and everything must end, spiritually, this is not the case.
God created language, at least the basic tenets of language. There was a time in history that man became rebellious and was trying to build a tower to the sky to compete with God and challenge His authority, God confused their languages and each spoke in a different tongue, they scattered and the challenge receded.
Whatever you seek in terms of human history, you'll find God intervening in it, He still is, many just can't see with their heart.

Humans created god and gods. There are a lot of unexplained things out there, and many people to control. Making up a deity will take care of both. Language is always changing, and when at one time I am sure there were few languages, people all decided to add stuff and change stuff to the old language so in time it becomes a whole new language. None of it happened in a short time span. It has taken many thousands of years to get to where we are.
