Back to EpisodesTower of Babel vs. Linguistics: What Really Happened to Our Languages?
Episode 98
Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
If you still think the Tower of Babel explains why Spanish exists, this episode might hurt your feelings. Jeremy and linguist Gabby break down how languages actually evolved, why “proper” English is just colonization in disguise, and how Babel’s real message might be about human pride, not divine punishment. Spoiler: God wasn’t mad at skyscrapers.
