The answer for this includes the following points:

  • Opinion: according to Jewish Oral Tradition, Hebrew was the language of Noah.
  • Fact: The Bible does not say what language was spoken
  • Fact: any guesses on the language are just guesses
  • Opinion: some scholars say Hebrew had not yet evolved until about 1200 BCE, which is after the traditional date of the writing of the five books of Moses (Torah). There is no way to verify this.
  • Opinion: some scholars believe that Hebrew and Old Canaanite were the same language, making Hebrew many thousands of years older than previously thought. There is evidence regarding the similarities, but there is no evidence regarding the age of the languages.
  • Opinion: most scholars believe the Noah's Ark story is not factual or literal, and the Biblical accounts are the remnant of a more ancient story widely passed down in the Middle East prior to 1000 BCE.
  • Fact: Most people will only accept the answer that conforms with their already-established beliefs. For those people, the answer is Hebrew.
