Torah means revelation or instruction or teaching or schoolmaster.
We know the one language (Beresheis 2:19) was Hebrew because Adam's very name derives from Hebrew (adamah); the 2 names he gave to Eve (Chava comes from chai/life) were Hebrew and only makes sense in Hebrew. He also called her /isha /(woman) because she was taken from the /ish /(man). (See Beresheis 2:23, 3:20 and Midrash Beresheis Rabbah 38).
While I agree we all have eternity written on our hearts, I specifically refer to the fact that after Adam dropped the ball that it was not until Mt. Sinai that a nation agreed to do Torah before knowing what living Torah entailed. Avraham lived Torah because the very aleph bet he spoke declare Hashem; Torah is within them.
