Evidence that there is a mother of all the 6000 known human languages is beyond doubt and no one will question this any more. But, which language is the mother, is the billion dollar question?
There is overwhelming evidence that languages change over time and they do not become more organized and complex, but less so over time, in their structure, even while the vocabulary grows. In other words they devolve and do not evolve even though terminology is less than precise in literature. If this premise be correct then the most organized and complex language is the mother of all and that was the argument of the Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani for Arabic. Also remember that it is a scientific principle that present is the mirror of the past. So, by learning about present we can extrapolate to the past. If languages are devolving and not truly evolving then birth of language cannot be completely explained by Darwinian evolution, based on small incremental improvements, and one has to invoke revelation. This also makes language a proof of Guided Evolution against Blind Evolution. Read your Darwin!
Thank you for sharing this. Many are unaware of the fact.
The Promised Messiah’s this wonderful declaration has been practically demonstrated and proven by one of his beloved companion Hazrat Maulvi Zafar Ahmad’s son Hazrat Sheikh Mohammad Ahmad Mazhar (RA) who through his extensive research wrote several books. For more details please explore the link:

When Bible was written what was language of time. We read that Arabic was not a written language at the time of revelation of Koran.How do you see this.
Arabic is the oldest language rich in vocabulary. When Quran was being revealed, it was memorized and committed to writing. There were many scribes.
Another proof of Arabic writing was the combined document written to boycott the Muslims. The document was hung on Ka’abah.
Another proof is the document written at Madinah famously called Meethaq e Madinah.
The language at the time of Jesus a.s. was Hebrew or Ibraani.
It is proved that all languages have been derived from Arabic, at least fifty well known languages had been proved to be derived from Arabic. Arabic is called “Umm ul Alsinnah” meaning mother of all languages.
If the language at the time of Jesus as was Hebrew or Ibrani where was arabic written or spoken at that time. Why jesus did not speak arabic or his followers used arabic to write Injeel.
Palestine is far away from Arabia. Those in Palestine did not speak Arabic. Arabic was the language of the Arabs.
Palestine was being ruled by the Romans. Greece was near to Palestine. Jesus could have availed the Greek language. But there was no need because every one in Palestine did not speak Greek and Jesus a.s. was to address the people in a language which they understood and that was Hebrew or Ibrani.
Jesus could never speak Arabic and his followers also did not know Arabic language.
When we say Arabic is the mother language, we mean that from very long time ago, all languages were effected (derived) from the Arabic language.
I give you an example of the word “Earth” that is called Ardh in Arabic. Similarly word “Admiral” is derived from Amirul Bahar. And Alcohol, and Cat are derived from Arabic language into English.
The style of French language that (when speaking) they drop the last letter of words, is a copy of the Arabic too, if we know that it is same in Arabic language when reciting the Quran..
Arabic is very old, from the time of Abraham a.s. or even older than that. (more later if required).
Language of Jesus a.s. and his followers was Hebrew. Arabic language was spoken all over Arabia. Please map of Arabia.
