Why 7,000 Languages?

...
The root language remains the same

No, it does not.

Yawn...

Sorry if the truth makes you sleepy.

I'm apparently not alone here in thinking you're an arrogant ass.

Does that appeal to popularity make you feel secure?

Yes.
Does being put on Ignore by more than 50% of the users here make you feel secure?

 

[Indeependent]

... most that seemed to have changed haven't change,....

Yes, they have.

Google disagrees with you.

Then you’re using Google incorrectly.

Yep!
Google providing Links to Wikipedia.
I guess you'll never be able to trust either one again!

"Wikipedia"? Really? That is your attempt at referencing an unimpeachable source? You can't be serious.

Bad Google!
As I said, you will no longer be allowed to use Google or Wikipedia.

Unlike you, I don't need to use them in order to discuss this topic.

I couldn't tell you knew anything from your last couple of years of posting.

Then you haven’t been paying attention.

Sadly enough for you, I pay attention to everything.

Languages, due to greed and lust, were entangled with other languages.
That does not mean the languages changed.

Languages are entangled due to interaction between cultures due to proximity, war and trade.

Yes, that does mean they changed

I can read Aramic and Hebrew written 2,00 years ago.
I have many friends who can read 2,000 year old texts in various languages.
The issue is how technology added words.
The root language remains the same

Words are added by more than technology.

Today, with an international media and the interweb it is much easier to interact

Exactly the word troll was added recently in the English language to describe posters like you on forums

Yes...Borrowed and mixed...I believe I already stated such.

Every language. Is there a people that has not borrowed and mixed?

Yes...Borrowed and mixed...I believe I already stated such.

Every language. Is there a people that has not borrowed and mixed?

I don't know about either Aramaic or Hebrew but I'd bet the farm that all the have evolved.

Bet all you want after you do some research.
God confused the languages and mankind wants the common language back and so languages intermix words.

How do you think language evolves. New words for new things, imported words, new meanings for old words, etc. You can trace the evolutionary tree of languages:

You obviously have a very physical view of God.

If you are interested in a discussion of your faith, I can respect that; but if you are trying to discuss linguistics, you are apparently I’ll-equipped.

The question no atheist can answer.


If, as evolutionists claim, all of mankind evolved from the SAME primitive life-source, then how did we end up with 7,000 different languages? Did one gorilla get angry at another gorilla and decide to start a new language? I'm intrigued to know.

The Bible teaches that God created all the different languages at Babel... "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech ... Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:7,9). It is far more reasonable to accept the Biblical claim that God created all of mankind's different languages; than it is to believe that some space-dust from a massive chaotic explosion somehow became life, and then took on intelligence, and then from the same evolutionary process ended up with 7,000 different languages. That makes no sense at all.

There are no "primitive" languages. All languages have a system of sounds, words, and sentences that can adequately communicate the content of culture. This is evidence of a divine Creator. The languages of the so-called "primitive" peoples are often very complex in their grammatical structures. If mankind had advanced through an evolutionary process, then there should still be developing languages today; but in fact, one languages disappears every 2-weeks...

Why 7000 Languages?

Evolution is the answer. Everything evolves. Languages are no different. Try reading Beowolf and see what you think of Old English. In my lifetime words have changed. I'm not sure I'd be able to understand Jive or Rap.

English, thanks to the US being a forced melting pot, cannot be used in an explanation because too many languages have been forced upon our nation.
Perhaps German...has any European or Asian language changed in the last 2,000 years by anything other than technology?

Roman conquest?

Nope...
The Romans wanted taxes.
They rarely intervened on anyone's society.
Greek and Latin fell out of use, they didn't evolve.

About 80 percent of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent.

Yes...Borrowed and mixed...I believe I already stated such.
What other language has evolved?

Many others (actually all of them). For example, Russian (being rather conservative) has changed significantly. Most of modern Russians hardly understand "Words about Igor's regiment" written in XII century.

...
I already explained that English is a mixture of other languages due to international commerce.

Due to the natural progression of languages throughout history (and the British getting their asses kicked all the time).

Languages, due to greed and lust, were entangled with other languages.
That does not mean the languages changed.

Just try to compare Old English with modern one. Different phonetics, different grammar, different vocabulary... Just start your self-education with reduction of consonant clasters.
