I have to disagree with "some" and "most", particularly in this case. To me, "most" means "a majority". The genetic model of languages is the only theory I know of that has support from living professional linguists, though we may debate extreme sub-theories like Proto-World and other single-origin hypotheses.

:No, it would prevent redundancy. That way you don't reinvent the wheel each time a topic is brought up. I would still recommend you create or augment a linguistics article. To the extent that you wish to question articles such as the Tower of Babel, please be specific about why the theory that there was once one language and it was broken off into many languages is believed to be factually shown to be wrong. One of the things that doesn't go very far here is the proverbial "scholars don't believe it". Saying what it is and why means much more. Personally I'm not sure how modern study will show this. If it shows a single language, then isn't that what Babel claims? If it shows multiple languages appearing concurrently, that isn't that the result that Babel claims? This may not be the best battle to pick. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 01:32, 15 July 2007 (EDT)
