That speculation-video is linked through 'the city-name' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that name into our lexicon....
The city-name #Babel is built on ancient words that mean Gate of God (the "Confused Medley of Sounds"-sense (i.e. Babble?) actually does come from 'the Bible-story about that city' (where it's said that Yahweh "confused the tongues of the men of the city" into using many languages rather than the one-and-only language that existed up to that point)). #Babylon #Babylonian
I'll link to the chapter of the book-of-The-Bible that describes that 'myth' (not necessarily 'a lie,' but rather 'that the point of the story is "something in the way you ought to think"'), but first ... here's a list of all the languages people cared to mention (if any languages are missing, you can probably add them there).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
