I have come across other traditions associating the Dispersion with wind- some even being Native American traditions or Aboriginal Australian traditions. From memory, I remember one Aboriginal story in which a wind shook the languages of mankind out of the great tree. I have always found this fascinating given the typological link binding Babel and Pentecost- given that Pentecost features a gust of wind and given that this detail, not being reported in Scripture, is still found across the memories of the human race, showing that typology is embedded in real history.
