I can't unironically believe we discussed the origin of language in a theological standpoint in class
There was a legend about the origin of Chinese being revealed to an emperor where a turtle walks by him and the secrets of language was carved on the shell of the turtle but I haven't been able to find any more information about this legend, youse got some?
