One word that sounds like "babel" in English today is "babble."
The Tower of Babel story from the Bible is considered a religious and mythological account rather than a historical event. There is no archaeological or historical evidence to support the existence of a tower reaching the heavens or the confusion of languages at a particular point in time. Additionally, it is unlikely that there was ever a single universal language spoken by all people. Language diversification is a gradual and ongoing process throughout human history.
The story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible is often used as a metaphor for the diversity of languages in the world. It highlights the idea that languages originated from a single source but became diversified due to divine intervention, resulting in the multitude of languages spoken today.
The original language spoken first by created man is not named at the beginning of the bible. It would be consistent that the way history was transmitted back then, by word of mouth, would have indicated that the tellers of the history would have that language as theirs. Since they were associated with Abraham who was the father of the Jews, who use the Hebrew language, then Hebrew was the original language. Since Moses was also the recorder of these accounts puts them in the Hebrew realm.

Maybe it was language, before, BABEL!
The 'curse' of Babel is undone by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (Acts 2:2-12). After Babel, men were separated via language. The stress on a common language (tongues) understood by all, regardless of nationality or language, is to stress that this is the undoing of Babel. It is to be a spiritual unification however, not a linguistic one. That some people hear only 'babel' indicates that some will reject God's plan for oneness (i.e. do not have 'ears to hear').
Yes, Douglas Adams is credited with inventing the term ''Babel Fish'' in his book ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'' The Babel Fish is a small, yellow, leech-like creature that serves as a universal translator, allowing characters in the story to understand any language.

The city of Babel was named for the Tower of Babel, a biblical story where people tried to build a tower to heaven. In the story, God confused their languages, resulting in the word "Babel" meaning "confusion" or "mixed up."
In the story of the Tower of Babel, God promised not to scatter the people by changing their language again. He allowed them to keep their language but dispersed them throughout the earth to prevent them from becoming too powerful.
