Bible Linguistics - 7. What is it for?
If there is no doubt in the Bible, the language of mankind after the Flood (or even before) is one. Of course, because they are descendants of Noah, they are one race. The language and race that were one of them are divided and divided to form countless world races and language of the world. Through the analysis of Sumerian, the first character of mankind, it was confirmed that Sumerian, Korean, and Japanese have something in common, but it is still difficult to determine whether Sumerian is the root of Korean, Japanese, or whether Korean and Japanese are the roots of Sumerian. It is also said that Proto-Indo-European became the root of the European language. What is the relationship between this language and Sumerian? Considering that Sumerian became the root of the Sanskrit language and Indo-European language was the root of the Sanskrit language, the roots of all languages are still considered to be the Sumerian language that invented the first human character. In other words, the language closest to one language (the first language) used before the language was changed after the Flood was considered Sumerian. There may be another language that is the root of Sumerian. It is also true that recent studies have claimed that the Sumerian civilization was derived from the ancient civilizations near the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains. However, the biblical linguistics we study is considered the first civilization of the Sumerian civilization because the Garden of Eden, which the Bible says, is located near Mesopotamia. Even if we admit that there was another civilization that was at the root of the Sumerian civilization, it was viewed as being built by a primitive race (perhaps a Semitic or Hamra) in Mesopotamia.
Prior to the invention of the Sumerian script, the first chacrater of humanity, it would have been very difficult to discover commonalities between languages. This is because, in the later days, even though the meaning and pronunciation of the same word was found to be the same or similar, in the days when there were no letters, it would have been thought that it was a different language due to the difference in fine pronunciation of each language or different word order. However, since the characters were invented, these characters influenced many languages and were used as a method of recording the languages, so it would gradually find common denominators among languages. This development process has now come to the backtrack that all languages had one root. In other words, the hypothesis that humans after the Flood, which started in one language, started from one language and race will continue to be revealed as the development of archaeology, history, torology, etymology, cultural anthropology, including biblical linguistics. Through our specialized field of study of biblical linguistics, we will not only help establish theories in this field, but also find out what modern language is closest to the original language.

Biblical linguistics is not an academic argument or a theological theory. Its purpose is to study the Bible more in depth by comparative study of the Bible in the original language or in multiple languages, and further to grasp the original meaning of God's Word, the Bible. In this process, if you learn the multi-languages including English and the roots of human language to establish the right historical consciousness, you will be one stone triad (catching three birds with one stone).
