Well.. have a look at Genesis.. it is written for the people of the day to understand.. in their language..
When Genesis speaks of days and hours and night and day.. the language is meant for the people of day.. it is in terms of their own days.. hours.. night and day..
What ancient manuscripts have shown is it is this language is very ancient Hebrew..
What has this morphed in to? Well I guess modern Hebrew
Alot of people think other lingos were around before Hebrew language .. but that doesn't really fit with the reality of historical documents. To make these lingos around b4 Hebrews you have to twist historical documents to suit your own agenda.. rather than letting them speak for themselves.
Anyhoo.. ya
Ancient Hebrew would have to be what they spoke... and that must have morphed into modern Hebrew.. and their will be plenty of languages that are pretty much branches of this.

We have no clue what language they spoke. And if we came across it, we probably wouldn't have any clue how to decipher it. Not even sure it's possible to write down. Dat's dah ting, mon. We jus' don' know. If we wrote it down, it could have looked something like this:
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
If we see that Adam was in communion with God pre-fall and was in the process of even greater communion, being made perfect, then it's not a stretch (if what we read in early Genesis is at all literal) to believe that Adam and Eve could speak with and understand even the animals.
Mysterious stuff.
Genesis 11 (New International Version)
Genesis 11
The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in Shinar [b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
life is weird
God bless
