>As late as 1760, the author of A New Complete English Dictionary speculated that Hebrew was the "language which God taught Adam." However, he noted that "others hold for the Syriac, Childee, Ethiopian, or Armenian" as potential first languages.

Anyone here who knows what language Childee might refer to? Ive never heard of it before and searching it gives no clue.



I am guessing Chaldean, language of the Chaldeans (sometimes archaically Chaldees)
