Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Mark Spitsbergen <awakesd AT mac.com>]

To which side does the weight of the evidence rest regarding the "one  
language" of Genesis 11:1,6: was it Biblical Hebrew, proto- Hebrew or  
a completely unrelated language from that found in the Bible? I can  
accept  the notion that there is a possibility that nothing of the pre- 
bavel language remained after God "confounded their language", my  
desire is to understand the current conclusions set forth in the  
paleolinguist research on the subject.  The one thing that I have come  
to expect from this list are a lot of passionate and differing views.

Thanks,

Mark Spitsbergen
