I believe that would be animal language. Animals express audibly by sounds and groups of sounds their feelings and sensations, such as contentment, fear, emotion, threat, anger, sexual desire and satisfaction in its fulfilment, and perhaps many other things. Long before man existed on earth there were animals preparing the earth for man's future arrival.

The greek historian Herodotus tells the story of an Egyptian king who puts two newborn babies in a room, together with a mute sheperd. He wanted to find out which language they would speak, and this would then be the 'original language'. According to this (fictional) experiment the original language was "Phrygian". In The Bible everybody speaks the same language before they build the tower of Babel, but the Bible doesn't say what language that was.
Maybe all languages have a common source, but I don't think it's possible to really speak of an "original language". Language didn't come into existence all of a sudden but was the product of a long evolution, in which it's impossible to decide from what moment on one can properly speak of 'language'.

We simply don't know, but studies of human throat formation and things that could only have been produced by co-operation suggest that language emerged about 200,000 years ago. Russian theorists have traced the Indo-European and Altaic language families back to a proto-language they have called 'Nostratic', spoken by hunter-gatherers about 40,000 years ago. Not everyone is convinced though.

It was the “organic Adamic language.” words, sentences, languages: What are they? How have they have been given an effect on us? whether the place do they arrive from, and why is language so unusual? all of it all started interior the beginning up, as we learn interior the scriptures: “And a booklet of remembrance became into as quickly as saved, interior the which became into as quickly as recorded, interior the language of Adam, for it became into given unto as many as called upon God to write down by using ability of the spirit of theory; “And via them their youngsters have been taught to benefit and write, having a language which was organic and undefiled.” Language is of divine beginning up. basically guy speaks, and he does so thinking that of the rationalization for which he became into created.

Certainly not Latin or Sumerian.This is an unanswerable question, and please don't cite the Bible as a historical text it is clearly a work of fiction/fantasy.
