Moreover, the "why" in this case is a nonsense concern. Why do German people need to speak different language than French people? Short answer, they don't have to, but they do nonetheless. And these two are neighbouring countries on the same continent who have been in contact (e.g., trade, war, etc.) for ages, and yet they do not share a single language--not even a single language family. In contrast, our scenario introduces two realms that are entirely cut off from each other except for the rare few who managed to pass the existential boundary that is the Tower's door--and only a fraction of those few actually managed cross both inside and outside as far as we know. Therefore, the question isn't "why should the languages differ", it's "how could they possibly know the same language"; hence the topic-question of this thread.
