[[Spanish]]

The Bible records the origin of languages as being caused by God to confound the efforts of the people building the[[Tower of Babel]], the purpose of which was to keep the people together, in opposition to God's command to spread out.  Prior to this time, there had been only one language (the Bible does not record what this language was).
