There was only one language spoken upon the face of the earth called “Hebrew” (Adamic language), before the building of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1).

During the building of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:3-9) in the year 2242 B.C many languages were casted into the midst of the people who were building the tower of Babel.

Deuteronomy 32:7-9

7 “Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations.

Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you:

72 Nations scattered in the 4 corners of the world:

Deuteronomy 32:8-

8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam,

He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.

But Israel is a portion of God’s blessing in the midst of these nations:

Deuteronomy 32:9:

9 For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

7 “Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations.

Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you:

And thus; that is when the human culture of language expression inherited the 72 expressions or dialects which eventually became the 72 cultures or nations.

And from that location (ancient land of Shinar, city of Nimrod, being the present Mesopotamia), the people were scattered in the different parts of the world. 

From there they went forth to develop their own cultures and languages (Genesis 11:1-9).

In the year 2448 of the Jewish calendar, during the feast of Shavout (pentecost) at the receiving of the Torah on mount Sinai, God commanded Moses to translate the Torah into 72 languages.

The feast of Shovout (pentecost) was the season when many languages (the 72 expressions) were activated to begin new cultural customs and languages into the earth.

But on the other hand; shavout (pentecost) is also the same season when God gave the Torah (five books of Moses) to become the instruction and teachings which unites all the languages of the earth.
