Simply a matter of time and distance. Try reading "old English" sometime. You'll find it very difficult, I imagine. Yet these are our direct ancestors and seperation by distance doesn't really come into play to a large extent.
Languages evolve, just like species.

Thanks! I agree
Sure doesn't make them easy for me to learn though, it seems. : (
I admire anyone with that gift. Are you multi-lingual?

No, unfortunaly. I'm monolangual-english. My mum is going to make me take Spanish, although I want to learn German.
Hmmm, I took some German (and a dash of Latin) but I wish I'd taken Spanish instead. : )
Whatever, best to you!

First of all I am NOT a Christian. My question is how we ended up with thousands and thousands of languages if we all evolved from the same sorce.
