The variation of human languages is a continuous or sudden process arised from barbel tower?
But why we can observe language variation caused by demographic factors in a short period of time? For example, Singlish is a variation of english created by Singaporeans in a few decades.

That was how the first major split happened. But new languages are always invented.

Languages did not originate with the Tower of Babel nor with the tower of Pizza.
Languages evolved over time. English is part of trhe Indo-European group of languages.

It's because English is spoken either with words from the native language or its accent.

The Tower of Babel is just a child's story. This gives you a grounding in the TRUTH. When you grow up you are not supposed to take it seriously...It is just there, hiding in your heart, keeping you safe 'in the Lord'.
