People who the Jews (and others) descend from?

I have never seen an example of a people who invented a language.  I'm not sure why you would think Avraham the first Jew (or Shem and Ever?) just invented Hebrew wholecloth and then Jews spoke it.

Thanks for this list. If Chaim speaks Hebrew, it sounds so familiar, like if I hear Dutch. I can not explain this feeling.
