The reason people of the earth speak different languages is because of Nimrod's rebellion against God with the Tower of Babel:-

Gen 11:1-9 NET The Dispersion of the Nations at Babel

The whole earth had a common language and a common vocabulary. (v.2) When the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. (v.3) Then they said to one another, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.) (v.4) Then they said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name [BBE: "a great name"] for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth." (v.5) But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building. (v.6) And the LORD said, "If as one people all sharing a common language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be beyond them. (v.7) Come, let's go down and confuse their language so they won't be able to understand each other."(v.8) So the LORD scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building the city. (v.9) That is why its name was called Babel - because there the LORD confused the language of the entire world, and from there the LORD scattered them across the face of the entire earth.

Who invented different languages?

The languages that have developed naturally over the course of human history and pre-history were not invented by any individuals. There are some languages that have been invented, like Esperanto and Na'vi. Esperanto now actually has some native speakers, and Na'vi of course is the invented language of the fictional Na'vi people in James Cameron's film Avatar. See links for more. There are also several languages of the peoples of Middle Earth, created by Tolkein as part of his Lord of the Rings works. He developed some of these languages to the point that they could be spoken, and there are several places in the LOTR films where the characters are actually speaking them.
