Aren't you glad it was not English. Had it been that, by the time Adam got to the A.. (donkey) he would be cursing for sure...only in English. I have an idea what language it was that Adam named the animals. It's fulfilling to k'now (know) that there are other people in this hugh World think like you even though we were not attending the same School of culture. After studying linguistics for 30 yrs I was so embarrass to learn that the same language Adam spoke is still spoken today in all cultures. Do you have any idea what language he might have named the animals by and how?

No I do not. Come on tell us what you think it is, inquiring minds want to know. God bless.

If Adam was around 6000 years ago then whatever language he spoke doesn't exist today. In any case the origins of languages go back tens of thousands of years before that. The languages of most of Europe and the western Asian languages into India originated from proto Indo European which existed about 5000 years ago but this is not as old as the original Australian languages which diverged some 10,000 years ago or more. African langauges have the oldest roots.
No person could have named all the animals. If he named one a minute for twelve hours a day, that's 720 a day. It would only take him about three and a half years to sort out the beetles we know today before we even consider the extinct ones.

I read once about an experiment done in the 1500s, before 'The Enlightenment'. They took a newborn baby to an otherwise deserted island to be raised by two deaf mutes. The idea was that without hearing speech as he was developing, he would grow up speaking the original language that Adam and Eve spoke.
Interesting approach. It shows you how the scientific way of thought has changed the way we think about such things!
So tell us, what language did Adam and Eve speak? It would have been a worldwide common language in those days, before the Tower of Babel incident. 8^)

It's also written that God (or whoever it was talking to themselves in the early myths that the Judeo-Christians copied) confused the language of mankind at Babel, so, sorry, I think the Bible disagrees with you that the language of Adam is still spoken today.

Adam spoke what was called, for lack of a better name, the "Pure Adamic Language." This was taken from the Earth at the tower of Babel...
