Archaeologists have uncovered languages that are older than Hebrew. For instance, the Sumerian written language used pictures for words and sounds. Also, ancient Egyptians used pictures called hieroglyphics (hi-ur-uh-GLIFF-icks) to write words and sounds. Later, other languages (like Hebrew) used an alphabet to write words. The earliest form of Hebrew appeared before the time of Moses. So, Hebrew was around when Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, and it is the language in which most of the Old Testament was written, although some of it was written in Aramaic (Daniel 2-6, and parts of Ezra 4-7). The alphabet of Aramaic looks like Hebrew, but it has different grammar and spelling.
We don't know what language Adam spoke, but he was able to name the animals and communicate with Eve. So, from the very beginning, man was intelligent and spoke a language. He wasn't an ignorant caveman who used grunts to communicate with others.
God Bless You

Great question! The Bible doesn't say. But, somewhere along the line, Israelites started speaking and writing in Hebrew. When Genesis talks about Adam and Eve speaking with God, I wonder what language He spoke?
BTW, in your profile, you quoted a wonderful passage from the Bible about love. And I wanted to let you know that you can find that in the 13th chapter of First Corinthians. It's one of the most beautiful in all the Bible.

The language that they spoke is unknown. In Genesis chapter 11, it tells about how God confused the languages of mankind so that they would scatter across the earth (like he had told them to do). At that point, the original language of mankind was lost.

The language is not mentioned in Genesis or anywhere else in in the Biblical text.

Who knows?
First, you would have to determine when they exsisted. They surely spoke an earlier language than Hebrew.
