How did language evolve into so many forms from an evolutionary perspective as well as a biblical perspective?
Assuming the adam and eve story is true.

Well greg I asked for both. Just because he can answer both doesn't mean he believes in one or the other... it just means he has explored the possibilities. More than what I can say for you.

Read the story of the Tower of Babel. That is wherelanguages originated from.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

Read the account of the Tower of Babel In Genesis Chapter 11. It tells you about why, when, and how Mankind became so many different races, colour & tongues.....SIN was the cause of this catastrophe.
Of course the Adam & Eve story is true!

Latin was spoken less than 1600 years ago, and has since diverged into 5 different offspring languages. The original, primal language (if there was one) has had much more time than that. Time and seperation are why languages came to be.

The separation of languages all started at the Tower of Babel - you can read the account in Genesis 11, but verse 7 says, "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." After that, languages continued to develop and change.

When the original 10,000 or so people lived together, they probably didn't have much of a language, so when they split and went different ways, and started to develop thier language skills, they wound up being different.
