1- Who First Spoke the Arabic Language
In the Tafsir of Al-Qurtubi, it is stated: There is disagreement about who first spoke the Arabic tongue. It was narrated from Ka’b Al-Ahbar that the first to write Arabic and Syriac and all other scripts, and to speak all tongues, was Adam (peace be upon him), and others besides Ka’b Al-Ahbar said the same.
It was also narrated from Ka’b Al-Ahbar through a sound chain: The first to speak Arabic was the angel Gabriel (peace be upon him), and it was he who placed it upon the tongue of Noah (peace be upon him),
and Noah placed it upon the tongue of his son Sam (Shem). This was narrated by Thawr bin Zayd from Khalid bin Ma’dan from Ka’b. It was also narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
that he said: “The first whose tongue was opened to clear Arabic was Ishmael, when he was ten years old.” It was also narrated that the first to speak Arabic was Ya’rub bin Qahtan, and other accounts have been given as well.
The correct view is that the first of all humans to speak all languages was Adam (peace be upon him), and the Quran testifies to this. Allah the Almighty said: (And He taught Adam all the names)
And languages are all names, so they fall under this. This is also supported by the Sunnah, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “And He taught Adam all the names, even the large bowl and the small bowl.”
* Who First Spoke Arabic Among the Angels?
Gabriel (peace be upon him) was the first of the angels to speak it, and he placed it upon the tongue of Noah after Allah taught it to Adam, or Gabriel.
* Who First Spoke Arabic Among the Descendants of Abraham (peace be upon him)?
Ishmael (peace be upon him) spoke pure, eloquent Arabic when he was ten years old.

2- Who Was the First Prophet to Speak Arabic?
He was the Prophet Hud (peace be upon him), as stated in a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
Who First Composed Poetry?
It was Adam (peace be upon him) . It is said that he composed measured Arabic poetry, as reported from Al-Tha’labi, who said that Adam said it when circumstances changed after Cain killed Abel:
The lands and those upon them have changed,
and the face of the earth has turned dust-covered and grim.
Everything of taste and color has changed,
and the joy of the fair face has waned.
3- What is the Origin of the Arabic Language, and Who First Spoke It?
Arabic began to be spoken in southern the Levant and the northeastern Arabian Peninsula in the early first millennium BCE.
The old Arabic dialects of this period can be classified into two groups: a northern dialect continuum, and Old Hijazi in the northern Hijaz.
The oldest evidence of the Arabic language dates back to the ninth century BCE, in the form of personal names in Assyrian cuneiform inscriptions.
The dialectal diversity of Old Arabic is well documented through these inscriptions. An inscription dated to the year 328 CE in Arabic,
in a Nabataean script branching from Aramaic. In the fourth century BCE, the Arab Nabataean kingdom was established,
expanding to the south and north and spreading Arabic in the regions it ruled. Thus, the Nabataean writing culture reached the northern Hijaz in the first century CE,
and after the Nabataeans took Tayma and Dumah, Arabic replaced the two local languages, Taymanitic and Dumaitic, there. Source: Wikipedia
* Is Arabic the First Language in the World?
There is an opinion that holds this view, based on the idea that the first language which sprang from a single human being, then spread and branched out,
and from which all the languages on earth emerged, is the language of human nature (fitrah),
which should meet several conditions that make it, in fact and in word, the language that every human being is searching for, in order to fully know themselves and their surroundings, and so that through it their faith and knowledge of the existence of Allah the Creator who created and taught them may grow, and so that they may draw from it the various words spread throughout all languages.
These conditions are:
- That this language be ancient, as ancient as humankind itself and its civilization, indeed older, and that it has continued in its natural form to the present day, which points to its innate nature.
- That the pictorial languages that preceded modern alphabetic languages contain qualities, names, and meanings from this original language.
- That its words be spread throughout the world, ancient and modern, especially in the places where the first human is presumed to have lived.
- That it contain what indicates its precedence, its origin, its antiquity, and its sacredness.
None of the preceding conditions are met by any language in our world today, except the Arabic language alone.
