Question

How old is english laguage. What was the original language of holy Bible?

Answer 1

Jesus spoke Aramaic, and when the apostles wrote I believe it was in hebrew or greek and priests typically were some of the few that could read,so they interpreted the bible their own way till Gutenberg's printing press made bibles easy to reproduce then in England the King James version was used. English is partially related to german and has Indian Sanskrit origins

Answer 2

The Bible began to be written in the Hebrew language, and some portions were later recorded in Aramaic. Then, in the first century of the Common Era, the remainder of the Sacred Scriptures were written in Koine, or common Greek (though Matthew wrote his Gospel first in Hebrew). By then a translation had also been made of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. Called the Septuagint, it was not an inspired translation but, nevertheless, was used by the Christian writers of the Bible in numerous quotations. So, too, the Christian Greek Scriptures and eventually the whole Bible came to be translated into other languages, among the earliest being Latin, Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Persian. As of the present time, the Bible, the whole or in part, is available in upwards of 1,800 languages.
