According to your claims about the Bible, all languages split when the
Tower of Babel was being built. This was, as I pointed out, no
earlier than the reign of Ur-Nammu (2112 - 2095 bce). Demonstrate to
us that Finno-Ugric and Indo-European date from this time (and no
earlier) as separate, and distinct languages.
The Tower of Babel incident is your claim; you get to support it with
data.
And how tall was the Tower of Babel supposed to be, anyhow?
