Question by Zarathustra: What language did the first man (Adam) speak? And, is it safe to conclude, that God speaks the same language?
If God told Adam not to “eat of the tree of knowledge” is it safe to conclude that God and Adam spoke the same language? If so, what is that language today? Or, when God stopped the “Tower of Babel” –by making each worker speak a different language (in order to prevent them from being able to continue to work together to build a tower into heaven) was the “original” language spoken by Adam, done away with?

I would say that God can speak any language.
English, of course.
You know, like that old saying, “If English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!”
We don’t know what language Adam and Eve spoke, but it is probably one of the 6,500 languages currently spoken on Earth.
I believe the Bible says before the serpent, Eve and sin….all of God’s creatures could communicate….animals, humans, etc…so, I would assume that would be some sort of universal language for all living things…
But, after sin entered the word, things got really mucked up….
God is all knowing. That includes languages hehe..
Probably some Local Dialect of the Proto-Afroasiatic language, after all Humans Came From Africa.
