Iceage, do you know the approximate age of the root of the language tree? It seems that it would have to far predate the Babel incident, since Babel is postdiluvian (gen 11, flood in Gen 7). because creationists usually put the flood at around 2500 BCE, there seems to be a problem, since I think we have plenty of different languages predating 2500 BCE (Egyptian, Akkadian, possibly Chinese).
Do we have other languages predating the flood?
