You mentioned written specifically. But sure ... I can argue that spoken language was even more wide spread. Likely, it was disseminated across many thousands staring with a few basic phonetics representing maternity, food opportunity, anger, and fear.

New phonetics where added very slowly by different tribes across vast swaths of the Levant and Eurasia over perhaps millions of years. But the root was found in the basic natures of our humanity.
