At the beginning of the creation of the physical universe, God used speech to bring all things into being (Genesis 2:19), but there is some debate as to whether this was the same language that God used when speaking with Adam and his first creations, or even if it was used to communicate to, between, and among the Celestials. Jewish authorities maintain that the Hebrew language was the language of God while the sacred language in Islam is classical Arabic, a descendant of the proto-Semitic language along with Hebrew and Aramaic. In Vedic traditions, [[w:Vedic Sanskrit]], the language of liturgy, was considered the language of the gods. [[w:Coptic]], the Greek derived replacement for the lost Hieroglyphics in Egypt is also still used in religious liturgical services.

:We might doubt whether Angels, or Demons, since they be pure spirits, use any vocal speech, or tongue amongst themselves, or to us; but that Paul in some place saith, If I speak with the tongue of men, or angels: but what their speech or tongue is, is much doubted by many. For many think that if they use any Idiome, it is Hebrew, because that was the first of all, and came from heaven, and was before the confusion of languages in Babylon, in which the Law was given by God the Father, and the Gospell was preached by Christ the Son, and so many Oracles were given to the Prophets by the Holy Ghost: and seeing all tongues have, and do undergo various mutations, and corruptions, this alone doth alwaies continue inviolated.
