Origins of Language

The origins of human language will perhaps remain for

ever obscure. By contrast the origin of individual
languages has been the subject of very precise study
over the past two centuries.

There are about 5000 languages spoken in the world

today (a third of them in Africa), but scholars group them
together into relatively few families - probably less than
twenty.
 The theory is that the members of each linguistic group have
descended from one language, a common ancestor. In many
cases that original language is judged by the experts to have
been spoken in surprisingly recent times - as little as a few
thousand years ago.
 Our ancestors were probably speaking a million years ago, but
with a slower delivery, a smaller vocabulary and above all a
simpler grammar than we are accustomed to.

The origin of language in the human species has been the
topic of scholarly discussions for several centuries. In spite of
this, there is no consensus on the ultimate origin or age of
human language.
One problem makes the topic difficult to study is the lack of
direct evidence.
Many argue that the origins of language probably relate
closely to the origins of modern human behavior, but there is
little agreement about the implications and directionality of
this connection.
Theories concerning the origins of spoken
language
Bow-wow. The bow-wow or cuckoo theory, which Max Müller
attributed to the German philosopher Johann Gottfried
Herder, saw early words as imitations of the cries of beasts and
birds.
Pooh-pooh. The Pooh-Pooh theory saw the first words as
emotional interjections and exclamations triggered by pain,
pleasure, surprise, etc.
Ding-dong. Müller suggested what he called the Ding-Dong
theory, which states that all things have a vibrating natural
resonance, echoed somehow by man in his earliest words.
Theories concerning the origins of spoken
language
Yo-he-ho. The yo-he-ho theory claims language emerged
from collective rhythmic labor, the attempt to synchronize
muscular effort resulting in sounds such as heave
alternating with sounds such as ho.
Ta-ta. This did not feature in Max Müller's list, having been
proposed in 1930 by Sir Richard Paget. According to the ta-
ta theory, humans made the earliest words by tongue
movements that mimicked manual gestures, rendering
them audible.
BIBLICALLY SPEAKING: Origin of Language
GENESIS 11:1-9
 Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one
speech.
 Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,
that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
 Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,
and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime
had they for morter.
 Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name,
lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
 Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded.

GENESIS 11:1-9

 Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they
have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing
will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
 Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
 Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon
the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
 Gen 11:9 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.
