After their languages were changed,

all these people (listed in Genesis

Chapter 10) began to move off with

those they could best communicate

with (their families). These language

families have now spread throughout

the world, and though languages have

continued to change, we tend to relate

best to those we share a common

speech with.

From those who came from the Tower

of Babel between 6,800 and 6,900 languages have

arisen, over 2,200 of which have a written form.

Also, many languages are spoken by people outside

the country that is known for it, and many speak

another language as a secondary one.

Language groups spread out across the lands,

now covering the world, even a few researchers in

Antarctica! The seven areas we call continents are

from largest in size to smallest: Asia, Africa, North

America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and

Australia.

Now, let’s find out where 26 distinct

languages from A to Z are spoken!
