Source (Arabic)
ملاحظه در اختلاف بعد از آدم نمائید که در ابتدا این السن معروفهٴ مذکوره در ارض نبوده و هم‌چنین این قواعد معموله بلسانی غیر این السن مذکوره تکلّم مینمودند و اختلاف السن در ارضی که به بابل معروف است از بعد وقوع یافت لذا آن ارض به بابل نامیده شد ای تبلبل فیها اللّسان ای اختلفت
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Consider the differences that have arisen since the days of Adam. The divers and widely-known languages now spoken by the peoples of the earth were originally unknown, as were the varied rules and customs now prevailing amongst them. The people of those times spoke a language different from those now known. Diversities of language arose in a later age, in a land known as Babel. It was given the name Babel, because the term signifieth “the place where the confusion of tongues arose.”
