If one tries to find out in the Bible the origin of the language
confusion, reading the story of the Tower of Babel in the chapter
11 of Genesis, he or she should read the end of the preceding
chapter. He or she will learn that the earth languages had already
begun to separate before the start of this huge building project.
As a matter of fact, has anyone tried to translate parts of the Bible in
lojban ? Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, translated the whole Old
Testament from the hebrew text (as a Jew, he thought it was better to
leave the New Testament to Christians).
