Babel Language Split investigates the origins of diverse human languages, exploring the intersection of the biblical Tower of Babel narrative in Genesis with modern anthropological and linguistic research. It examines how humanity, once believed to speak a single language, splintered into the thousands of tongues spoken today. The book uniquely bridges Language Arts, Religion, and Anthropology, presenting a holistic view of language evolution.

One intriguing insight is how geographical isolation and social interaction significantly influenced linguistic divergence, leading to the emergence of distinct language families.

The book approaches the topic by first examining the key narratives in Genesis, then transitioning to anthropological perspectives on language evolution, migration, and comparative linguistics. It synthesizes these views to find convergence and divergence, addressing criticisms and exploring alternative interpretations.

The study highlights the practical implications of understanding linguistic diversity, such as preserving endangered languages.

The book progresses by establishing a foundation in biblical narratives, exploring anthropological perspectives, synthesizing the two, and culminating in practical applications, drawing from diverse sources to support its claims.
