Nor does it mean that the Bible story is the true one.

I assume that very few linguists agree with you, and that most of the ones that do are Christians, or Jews. Most experts say that Sumerian and Egyptian writings predate 3,000 B.C. No Hebrew writings predate 3,000 B.C.
Have you studied radiometric dating methods a lot? If so, do you understand how the dating methods work? Have you ever taken a high school or college class in physics? I have never taken a high school or college class in physics. I choose to accept the opinions of the vast majority of experts.
Even if Hebrew was the first written language, oral languages existed before that, including Sumerian languages. Perhaps the writer of the book of Genesis used oral Sumerian flood stories as the basis for the Bible flood story.
I assume that you believe that it is appropriate for people to accept the Bible without studying science at all if that is what they want to do.
