Answers with Ken Ham - How Many Languages?

Did you know that the Bible explains the origin of languages around the world? After the flood, Noah’s descendants disobeyed God and refused to spread around the world. So God confused their language so they were forced to fill the earth.

Now, we can look at the genealogies recorded in Genesis and see that, from the original language, God created less than one hundred new ones. Well, language analysts have determined that all 7,000 languages spoken around the world today came from less than 100 original languages.
