well..as i am an Arabic speaker,,ithink because this language is very rooted ,very historical and it was spoken for more than centuries and centuries,and that it was kept from generation to another ,,,reason?because the Quran (like the bible in christianty)was written in Arabic,and the Quran was written from like a very very long time i can't remember really and people didn't dare to change any single word or transform it ,that's why it is still existing to this day ,however the Arabic language was not effected by any language like the others .Arabic language is very rich in words ,also in it's grammer that's why it's very hard to study it !\nAbout the poetry i'm not sure but i guess because poetry was the only way to transform their feelings and their thoughts  ,,,

I raise my eyebrow at the whole idea. Now if I was suddenly filled with the Holly Spirit and was so overjoyed that I couldn't form words in English and spoke something like Latin or Italian.. then yeah.. but jabbering on in a "language so ancient" that no one understands it.. then no.. they are not speaking in tongues.. they just can't express themselves in words.. so they make sounds.

I think it was Aramaic or Hebrew. I saw a website that might help: http://phoenicia.org/semlang.html

As odd as the language may seem to you, it is considered modern English.  It is different mostly because spelling was a hit or miss proposition and because they exhibited some form of behavior called manners, somewhat foreign in the modern world.\nHence intsead of beginning a letter with "Sup Cuz?" when writing to one's parents, please refer to Master Bartholomew Gosnold's Letter to his Father in 1602 at the website below.  The language, although archaic is highly expressive.  In fact most of this website is impressive because it imparts to us an insight we might not have otherwise had.  As you know, some of the early years were particularly difficult.

It seems that when Jean François Champollion deciphered the ancient Egyptian writing (using Rosetta Stone and others), he discovered that it was still quite similar with Coptic despite the time difference. Coptic hasn't been a spoken language since the 1600's, but is the liturgical language of the coptic church and hence has been well preserved (as Latin has been).\n\nSo I think he used coptic to get the ponunciations.\n\nAbout "Ra": We don't really know what the vowel is. In fact, I don't think we know any vowels!\n\nHopefully and expert is online and can give a better answer!\nCheck out the source. I Didn't have time to read it properly.

Faukis soki moyen ezali benga ngai\nAre you sure it is a foreign language?  It might be an African langauage of come kind.  It is not French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Russian, Korean, Welsh, Gaelic, Manx, or English.\nPerhaps someone just can't use predict text (I know I can't).\n\nAnyway good luck!

Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by more than 6 million people, mainly in Israel, the West Bank, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world. The core of the Tanakh (sometimes referred to as the Hebrew Bible), the Torah (which Christianity and Judaism traditionally hold to have been first recorded in the time of Moses 3,300 years ago), is written in (Biblical) Classical Hebrew. Jews have always called it לשון הקודש Lashon ha-Qodesh ("The Sacred Language") as the scriptures written in this language were considered sacred. Most scholars agree that after the first destruction of Jerusalem by the Nebuchadnezzar II and the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the kind of Hebrew prevalent in the Tanakh was replaced in daily use by Mishnaic Hebrew and a local version of Aramaic. After the depletion of the Jewish population of parts of Roman occupied Judea, it is believed that Hebrew gradually ceased to be a spoken language roughly around 200 CE, but has stayed as the major written language throughout the centuries. Not only religious, but texts for a large variety of purposes: letters and contracts, science, philosophy, medicine, poetry, protocols of courts—all resorted to Hebrew, which thus adapted itself to various new fields and terminologies by borrowings and new inventions.\n\nHebrew was revitalized as a spoken language during the late 19th and early 20th century as Modern Hebrew, replacing a score of languages spoken by the Jews at that time, such as Arabic, Judezmo (also called Ladino), Yiddish, Russian, and other languages of the Jewish diaspora as the spoken language of the majority of the Jewish people living in Israel.\n\nModern Hebrew became an official language in British-ruled Palestine in 1921, and the primary official language of the State of Israel, (Arabic maintained its official language status). The Hebrew name for the language is עברית, or ‘Ivrit (IPA: /ivʲrit/)
