WHAT “every sound hadeeth” are you talking about? The ahadith which form the basis of books like Rangeela Rasool, or this particular hadith about Arab superiority, which does not even fulfill the requirements of common sense?

I would be interested in the reference of this hadees. But even without any reference, this hadees looks unauthentic. Because it is asking people to "Love Arabs" when everyone around him was Arab themselves. It makes no sense to ask, for example, a Pakistani to love Pakistanis.
No where in Quran does Allah say that Arabic has any special privilege over any other language. Quran talks of it being in Arabic but the reason given is that it is for making the local people understand the message.
And the reason we recite dua and namaz in Arabic is that we want to keep the ORIGINAL words, which happen to be in Arabic, so that the message is not lost in translation. Arabic is not used because it has any superiority over others.
In other words, Arabic is the language of Islam because the Prophet happened to speak Arabic.
Agree, even in Quran there are verses which deal with the criticism brought forwarded by Kuffar e Makkah, etc that why Quran was not revealed in a language other than Arabic. It is then said in Quran that if it was revealed in other language, people would have said ' why the Quran is in another language, when the Prophet is an Arab'.
Moreover, the hadees quoted by TLK also contradict with the basic teaching of Quran (read Sura e Hujraat about why there are different tribes i.e. just for identity purposes and better amongst you is the one whose actions are better). Moreover, in khutba e Hajjat ul wida, the Prophet himself declared 'There is no preference of Arabs over non-Arabs and vice verse'. In Sura e Fatir, where difference of languages is mentioned in the words *'and the difference of your languages and colors. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge' *, it is not mentioned superiority of Arabic over other languages.
Quran does mention superiority of language and message of Quran and invites non-Muslim to present single verse like Quran, but it is just to prove that the revelation is divine.
This is so silly. If time is not a determinant of anything divine, then means NOTHING to say before and after about anything divine. Therefore let's remove the 'divine' aspect of all languages for this discussion.
Which then brings us to the realm of animals and human. In this realm whatever language the first humans would have been from Africa, them then traversing through the Indian coast to Australia.
But that will also be irrelevant in a few centuries because the then occupoints of this planet - the cyborgs - will talk about is humans with as much 'knowledge' as we do today about our forefathers.
Therefore the only answer that will be valid in a century or so to this question is.....drum roll......
Bhai, mein ne simple sa sawal poocha hy, Murgha ban kr awaz nikalny ko nahi kaha.
There is a hadith in both Sahihain that on the day of resurection, some of the people would rush to one another in bewilderment and try to find a Prophet who will intercede them with Lord. They’ll come to Prophet Adam a.s., Prophet Noah a.s., Prophet Ibrahim a.s., Prophet Mosa a.s., Prophet Isa a.s., and lastly to Prophet Muhammad
So what you think? Those peoples will be able speak all those languages of different Prophets? I think there will be one standard language. I don’t know what language that will be but as per another hadith narrated in Sahih Bukhari 'The first word uttered by Hazrat Adam a.s., was “Peace be upon you” was in arabic. So I believe that the arabic language will be the first and last language. Hence in this world 'there is no superiority of any language over any other language.
Purpose of this thread is to know ‘What was our language and how it is changed’ [answer is below]
Almighty Allah says in Chapter 14 Verse 4: "
And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise",
and Chpater 35 verse 24:
"Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner.
Holy Qur’an itself cleared that Almighty Allah sent messegers and warners within from that nations and there is no doubt of being different languages nor superiority of a language on any other language. Moreover Almighty Allah said in the Qur’an that it is made easy for all those who really ponder.
Sanskrit wasn’t first ever language but there is no doubt it is an old language.
