Reputedly, all humanity spoke one language until they tried to build the Tower of Babel.

When God destroyed the Tower he also 'gave' different languages so that humanity might never try to unite in this manner again.

On Pentecost, the disciples spoke to a large multitude of people

  • "out of every nation under heaven" - and each one "heard them

speak in his own language".

It's a good story, but not true.

The rise of languages happened long before any possible date for the Tower of Babel.
