Assuming that Genesis was written chronologically -
Wasn't the tower of Babel destroyed because everyone spoke one language? - and every group now spoke languages that other groups could not understand? Gen 11:1
Now let's back up one chapter. Chapter 10 lists the descendants of Noah - nations formed by those God placed on the ark. They all spoke one language and that was the result of God annillating the rest of the nations. Gen 11:2 tells us the place of the Tower of Babel was Shinar and that was in the realm of Nimrod a descendant of Ham who was on the boat. And Ninrod was the greatgrandson of Noah.
Let me get this straight - for four generations, the language of the world was ONE and God didn't like that????? Didn't God set that up by killing the rest of the world?

Gen 11:71 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
