Close your eyes and imagine hearing 7,000 different ways to say "hello." That's actually how many languages exist on Earth today. There's even a story that long ago, everyone on Earth spoke the same language... until one day, they didn't. Was it a myth? Or is there real science behind it?
In this episode of I Wonder, 13-year-old Alva asks one of the biggest questions about being human: why do we have so many languages?
Join us on a journey from the very first human sounds and gestures to today's global mix of tongues — with a stop at the Tower of Babel, a language with 74 letters in its alphabet, and a German word so long it would take you days to say it out loud.
Tune in now.
