Is there any information on who or how languages were created? My
coworker is baffled by thinking about how the inital languages were
created, communicated and propagated across the masses. Any direction
you can provide would be appreciated in lessening her intellectual
burden.

Hello tabathad-ga,

I'm glad that the links I've found for you will help your coworker

The Law of Attraction says "Like Attracts Like" and so I think in the
beginning of humankind, sounds just came together to build
communication systems (language).
