The origin of language A religious point of view

• There are many theories and beliefs about the origin of language. One of those and perhaps a well known theory is The creation.

• The main source where we can find the events of our creation is the bible.

• In the Old Testament, more specifically in Genesis, there are some chapters where we find communication between God and Adam.

• Genesis 1:26-27 God created us in His own image

• Genesis 2:15-17 God give some instructions to Adam regarding the forbidden tree

• Genesis 2:19-20 Adam gives names to the animals

• Genesis 2:23) God created a companion to Adam,

• “ This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man”

•

• Exodus 4:11-12) God says

• ‘Who had made man’s mouth? ... Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say’

Conclusion

• From a religious point of view, the language was created by God and from the first man He created (Adam) all of us have the capability to speak

• Genesis 11:1-9 Tower of Babel.
