That God, Adam, Eve and everyone up until the Tower of Babel spoke Hebrew
was a long-standing Christian belief; certainly Jerome and later
"Christian Hebraists" held it. They referred to it as the "mother of all
languages." I would guess (but don't know for sure) that rabbinical
literature supported his claim.
