Built that tower so high god was like nah y'all done cooperating fr
Its all greek to me
Any greek speakers who can translate?
I can't help but wonder if this was the jews explaining the divergence of the semitic languages to the point where they wouldn't be able to understand Babylonian and Akkadian despite them being related to Hebrew and having ended up on the same side of older splits like those from other afro-asiatic languages like the egyptian, kushitic, and amazigh branches.
"Employees speak new languages." Is what translate gives me, but I would translate it more as "The ones working speak new languages" or "Those who have employment speak new languages". I still dont get the meme though, so the context might matter more and my translation could be off

When you take slaves from your neighbors and make them build a tower.
