from Of Languages
The late discourse we had of the Saxon tongue, recalled into my mind some dormant thoughts or forgotten considerations, both of that and other Languadges. If the earth were widely peopled before the flood, as most conjecture, yet in the space of above fifteen hundred yeares and a large dispersion withall, whether they strictly maintained their originall and Adamicall speech, and did not runne into different words, so as to alter though not diversifie their Languadge, some question might be made. And though the progenie of Noah before the miraculous confusion at Babel might justly bee sayd to have been of one Lippe, yet if they had been very long permitted unto themselves their humors, inventions, necessities and new objects, in long tract of time they could hardly have escaped such varietie in their languadge as almost to have made it another thing.
– Sir Thomas Browne (1656)
