1. If we all evolved, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES?
2. Can you tell me what Chinese, French, Egyptian, etc. monkey evolved into to suggest that evolution truly exist.
This is not to insult you in any way, I would truly like to know where I'll end up when I die.

The usual meaning of evolution is the development of species, and this takes place in a very large window of time.
There is also the evolution of the mind- the ultimate tool. Because of it, the human species has the unique potential to evolve ideas, turning them into practical reality or total hogwash, in a very short period of time. Which result you have depends on evolution of the mind itself, an individual process.
Hopefully, the individual goes to work sharpening and developing this tool early in life so that it produces intelligent and valuable ideas, accurate perceptions and understanding- including variety in languages. This is the evolution of higher mental function, a development of new capacity.
If the individual fails to do this, it explains why you have asked this question.

Not to insult you, but that is the last question I ever expected to hear about evolution. In evolution, it is a higher process that has evolved. The language is just a form of communication. You create what comes to mind. In the mathematics language 86 means a number that is 10 above 76 and 1 below 87..Yet in the Restaurant industry it means "take this item off".
It is a way to communicate and one that is found by people who have different backgrounds and noises/sounds to make a language.

There can still be a heaven that we are all evolving to.
1. Do all birds sound the same?
2. Did you know that a bird is the only direct link to the dinosaur?
No insult taken. It pays to have a flexible mind. If rigid it will snap under the pressure of new information.

Different languages are a result of different locals as explained by some of the previous answerer's. As far as evolution itself it is widely accepted fact based soley on non existent evidence. Dinosaurs turned into birds or are the closest relatives? Then explain why we have fossils of birds from the same strata levels and supposed time zone, with not one fossil showing example of an intermediate animal that was part one part another. Evolution has not one piece of evidence that shows a change from one species to another. Even Secular scientists are starting to question the whole basis of a billion year old earth and evolution. Believe the Bible or not your choice but evidence is supporting a much younger earth. As science learns the evidence grows. Such as oil can be formed in a lab in less than a year, not the millions they say it took. I could go on and on. Take an OBJECTIVE look at the science

The development of language has nothing to do with evolution. If you seperate people for just a few dozen years their speech patterns will change.
I'd say that when you die you will definately turn back to dust, in one form or another. You may believe that part of you will not die and that it will go to heaven or hell or whatever you want to believe. The one thing that we know for sure is that you will stop living and your tissues will return to a natural, dust-like state. It's very natural and very good. Nothing unusual about dieing.

you really do not understand evolutionary theory. humans developed the biological ability to have language, after that it just depends where you are.
your second question does not make any sense. it sounds like you think that people in different countries came from monkeys in those countries. that is not evolutionary theory. Evolutionary theory states that if you go back far enough, monkeys and humans share a common ancestor that is neither human nor monkey, but something totally different.
and humans migrated around the globe fairly recently, long after they became their own species. French people and Chinese people are all the same species, they didn't evolve from separate ancestors.

Languages underwent cultural evolution. There were several proto-languages that developed at the end of the last ice age. They travelled through preexisting human populations and became different as cultural groups lived in isolation and faced different plants and animals in their environments.
