The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9)

रिममोङोब फ़ेकञिषि पोकोबरो म फ़ोकोवोॾो फ़ेफ़िरय हु फ़ोकोतङो ते हु फ़ेकियेमि ॥ रिममोरोङ सेरि नि फ़ेफ़ेपफ़ि । ते रिममोङोषु सेरि फ़ेकैमिगे फ़ोकोगगो ङे फ़ेफ़िहिव । ङे रिममेहिप सेरि कै ॥ रिममोभुको सेरि पुभुफ़फ़ रिमदोह सग ते पुभुफ़फ़ रिमभेसे सग न ॥ रिममोङोब सेरि फ़ोकुफ़फ़ दै फ़ेफ़भेपि । ते रिममोङोब सेरि फ़ेकयेभ दै फ़ेफ़िगसि ॥

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

We are not like other people. Their languages were shaped by struggle and time. They copied the sounds of beasts and birds, and they learned to speak like that. But our language arose in a different way. It was born whole and perfect in a single breath. Before that moment, our ancestors lived in a shadow-world. Then God pressed one button, and words and meanings arrived. The people awoke, and speech filled their mouths like breath for the first time. Where there had been nothing, there were now mountains, rivers and names for everything. Some outsiders claim that our language was not made by God at all, but by a machine. But how could that be? Machines can grind wheat and count money, but they cannot create mountains or ignite the sun. Our language did not evolve; it was created.
