'''The Tower of Babel''' is a creation text from the [[:w:Book of Genesis|Book of Genesis]] (also known as "In the beginning") as the first installment of the [[:w:Hebrew Bible|Tanach]] in Judaism and the [[:w:Old Testament|Old Testament]] in Christianity, detailing an origin myth providing a rationale for why the various peoples of the world speak such diverse languages. | |||
The text has become a popular translation reference for many Conlangs, being one of the first texts to be translated across various Conlangs, the story itself being a story of language-invention, a story inspirational yet familiar to many conlangers/conlinguists, and, like the first (1st) article of [[The Universal Declaration of Human Rights|The Universal Declaration of Human Riğts]] and [[The Internationale]], has become a famous text translated into a significant portion of the languages of Earth. | |||
