I remember hearing about a similar experiment in the, I don't know, 1700s? These priests or monks or whatever had this idea that if you raised a group of kids together and didn't talk to them, then they would revert to whatever the "original" language supposedly was before the tower of babel. They expected the kids to start talking in Hebrew or Greek, but they just made their own language.
