Answer this question…During the first 17 centuries of human existence, everyone spoke just one language, having "one set of words. Today, literally thousands of languages-some say over 6,800-are spoken in the world. Each of these languages requires different thought patterns. It appears, then, that when Jehovah God confused the speech of those rebels, he blotted out all memory of their previous common language. He not only introduced into their minds new vocabularies but also changed their thought patterns and produced new grammars. No wonder the location of that tower came to be called "Confusion," or Babel!
Interestingly, only The Bible gives a satisfying explanation of the origin of the diversity of languages that we see today. ---(Watchtower Online Library)
