    wikipedia says, that Adamic language is, according to Jews (as recorded in the midrashim) and some Christians, the language spoken by Adam (and possibly Eve) in the Garden of Eden. It is variously interpreted as either the language used by God to address Adam (the divine language), or the language invented by Adam with which he named all things (including Eve), as in Genesis 2:19.

    I'm going to answer this question on your pretense that they actually did exist (which I'm assuming that you believe is true), and given this I'd have to say some form of Arabic or Hebrew (possible a tribal variation different to Arabic/Hebrew spoken by billions today) as these are the cultures and languages thereof which seemed to be prominent in the bible.

    If Adam and Eve existed (not saying that they didn't) they would speak a very basic, not developed language that would have something (at least one thing) in common with every language, like subjects, nouns, and verbs

    Since Adam and Eve are metaphorical characters, the assumption is that they spoke a metaphorical language.

    I think that the only language that the name Adam has a meaning in it is Arabic . Adam comes from 'adeem'' which means soil or dirt, and anything has the color of soil is called adam.

    Surely he knew what his name means ,so he spoke some kind of Arabic.

    I like to think they spoke "old."Because they are old.

    *(If it helps at all I think someone once told me they spoke in tongues? But I've read through Genesis and found no mention of it. In the end, I don't really think it matters what language they spoke.)
