        Why don’t we all speak the same language? (Earth 2.0 Series)
According to a biblical version initiate in the book of Genesis, people previously spoke the same language. Then, because those people hooped together to build a tower in Babylon that worshiped their own accomplishments, rather than those of their divinity, God disciplined them. He ensured that mankind spoke several tongues so that they'd never be able to work jointly to discredit God again. Linguists still don't have enough information that confirms the origins of language. There are just beliefs about how our early descendants formed their first words and sentences. Did early people reproduce sounds they perceived in the atmosphere? Did they murmur until undeniable sounds took on significance? We'll possibly never find out, however, the linguist's still studied children brains to establish if language comes already establish in our heads.

One obvious belief about the maturity of the first languages narrates to tools and resources. Teaching another person how to use tools demands an evident, agreed-upon vocabulary. Making someone understand a new language, it’s one of the most crucial acts of being a person, and amongst one of the most important one. Linguistic variety has been a normal trademark of human interaction. But in previous centuries, there were other big, fat languages guzzling up the others. In Western and Central Europe, for example, the background of language was piloted in Latin. So there are a lot of aspects that may affect whether, or how large, a given language will increase. Some groups have sponsored that a universal language is implemented, but it would be challenging to find any group ready to give up their own language if only because so much culture and history becomes surrounded within it over time. Subsequently, thanks to the Internet's impact, language has developed a mix of emoticons and acronyms.
