"The scriptures state that [the Adamic] language, written and spoken by Adam and his children, was 'pure and undefiled' (Moses 6:5-6). The concept of [this] language grew among Latter-day Saints out of statements from scripture, comments of early Church leaders, and subsequent tradition. It does not play a central doctrinal role, and there is no official Church position delineating its nature or status." [Author]
