I've read a few bibles and commentaries.  I've not heard of the language 
discussed until IIRC around the time of Abram (later called Abraham).  At 
that time and before the descriptions of the events are in Hebrew and 
recently other early languages.  The stories in our bibles are simplified 
explainations of sometimes very detailed events that only matter or are 
revealed later in the bible.

Excellent ideas to ask and perhaps research.
