Language
The world only had one language and a common speech (Genesis 11:1) till....the Lord scattered men all over the earth (Genesis 11:8) and confused the language of the world (verse 9).
There are thousands of different languages and dialects in the world. Yes in the end times, the world is becoming one again. The internet has made the world small even though we are scattered all over.
English became the international language, while Latin was the common speech in South America. Some had predicted there will be 3 main languages eventually.
1. English - USA, Europe etc
2. Latin - South America etc
3. Chinese - China, Taiwan, HK, Korea, Japan, Vietnam etc
I have enrolled myself in Shanghai University to learn Chinese for a month starting September. Hopefully I can learn it up fast especially the scientific and business terms.
