Langauge during the Bible times?

Before the tower of babel, everyone spoke the same language, but no one knows what that was. Abraham probably spoke Hebrew. Moses spoke Egyptian and Hebrew. Most likely people like Daniel and others who were taken into Babylonian captivity learned to speak Babylonian and Persian. Jesus spoke Jewish Aramaic which was sort of like Hebrew, but he probably knew Greek too, as well as possibly Latin. English didn't come into existence until sometime during the Dark Ages when Anglos and Saxons from Germany migrated to England and mixed with the people there.

All languages change over time English evolved from a mix of Saxon and Danish languages with some Celt and Latin. Old English emerged from the mix around 7-800CE and with the addition of Norman French became Middle English, the language of Chaucer and Malory. With the arrival of the Tudors Middle English became early modern English, the language of Shakespeare and the King James Bible and that changed into modern English as we know it today over the last 400 years.

The only languages that do not change are those that are written down and continue from the writings but become extinct otherwise. Latin is a good example of that, Hebrew another. In the spoken language, Latin has become Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese and many more over the last 1500 years and each of those languages has had transformations along the way.

If Moses lived he would have spoken a precursor to Hebrew or Egyptian but not the languages as spoken today.

Adam and Eve - Unknown. For a long time many people believed in a concept of a Celestial language that they spoke, others say the celestial language is hebrew, some say it is a lost language.

Moses - Egyptian and Hebrew

Jesus - Probably spoke Hebrew and Greek. He probably spoke Greek in the company of various peoples, and Hebrew in the temple courts, and it would have varied the rest of the time. It's possible he occasionally spoke Aramaic at times as well.

Adam and Eve never existed as literal people (yes, I'm one of those evolutionists who accepts the overwhelming scientific evidence that humans evolved *as a population* from primate ancestors). But the historical evidence suggests that the myth of Adam and Eve may have its origins in Sumeria. So I'll pick Sumerian as my answer.

Moses presumably would have spoken both ancient Egyptian and some dialect of Canaanite. (Canaanite is the West Semitic language from which Hebrew evolved. It was divided into several mutually intelligible dialects such as Ugaritic, Moabite, Edomite, Jebusite, and so on).

During the time of Jesus, Aramaic was the language most commonly spoken among Jews in the Galilee and Roman Palestine. Due to the influx of Greek colonists into the region, many Jews could also speak Greek. All of Jesus' followers who contributed to the New Testament wrote in Greek, so Jesus may have spoken that language too. Devout Jews also learned Hebrew, as that was the language of the Torah and the other books of the Old Testament. It is not unreasonable that his devout Jewish parents would have taught Hebrew to Jesus as a child. Hence Jesus may have been tri-lingual.

P.S. English did not exist during biblical times. The closest there was to English was the proto-Germanic tongue spoken in Scandinavia and northern Germany from which all modern Germanic languages, including English, ultimately evolved. English as a distinct language is said to have begun in the fifth century A.D. when the Angles, Saxons and Jutes invaded England and established themselves and their dialects as distinct entities from the other Germanic peoples.

We do not know the language of Adam and Eve, but it was there, after all, these people could build cities etc., so had to be able to communicate. In the days of Moses, they may have spoken an Egyptian dialect, and maybe even Philistine. In the days of the Christ, they spoke Arameic.

The language spoken by Adam down to Noah's grandson, Nimrod, is not mentioned in the Scriptures. Because Nimrod rebelled against Jehovah's order to spread out over the entire earth, but started building a tower for protection against another possible flood, Jehovah confused their language so that they would not understand what these men were saying to each other. This is called the tower of Babel because it was here that the language was confused. Can you imagine everyone speaking only one language, when all of a sudden each person started speaking something different? That in itself should have turned them back to their maker, Jehovah God in repentence.

Genesis 11:1-9 When those people left of building the tower, they spread across the earth, each with his different language. Today, there are hundreds of languages.

I don't know whether you have your own religion or not, but different religions also came about after this. Jesus is known earth-wide as our savior, but people do not understand exactly what that means or they would not be preaching heaven for the good and hell for the wicked. Jesus gave us a very important date to remember the night before he died. Luke 22:19

There will be a memorial service at every Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses after sundown on Monday, April 14. This is an earth-wide event and all are invited to attend free. This is your invitation to come to your neighborhood Kingdom Hall to help us commemorate Jesus' death. Go to www.jw.org to learn more about it.

Hebrew most likely in moses' time. adam and eve didn't exist

Jesus spoke Aramaic. And Adam and Eve are made up. Also, English???

Hebrew....

No one knows the earliest languages but it was surely none of these.

Languages evolved by country after the Babel incident.

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.
