Language is probably the most important part of our lives as humans but, how many of us really knows where language came from, am talking about the origin and the first known language ever to be spoken. There's this theory I grew up to know, might sound a little silly though. A king during the ancient times of man had this idea of wanting to touch the sky so he ordered the construction of a tower to get up there with a thousand slaves as workers. After reaching a high amount of floors, he paid a visit to the construction site and climb up to the highest floor. He looked up the sky with his bow and shot an arrow to see how close he had reached to touch the sky. Moments later a mysterious lightning struck and the entire building crashed to the ground as well as everyone. Chaos ensued when everyone stood up not understanding the other person next to them. They all spoke a new different language. laughs. If this theory is true, then what language were they speaking before the incident? Does anyone know a more realistic answer to the origin of language?
