Very interesting parallel. Perhaps a new anti-creationist tack? "Linguistics falsifies the Tower of Babel account." Honestly I have yet to hear this issue debated by creationists. Maybe we can break new ground on this?
There is an excellent book called "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond which has a chapter about the migration of certain languages. The whole book is pretty interesting. I haven't read up much on language development and dispersement, but I've read enough to glean that most languages can be traced back to non-biblical origins.
