If you look or do a search, the word for the seventh day of the week still means rest or Sabbath in many languages. This is a clear link or gives strong evidence that the weekly Sabbath was given at Creation to all mankind. Here are a few:

Hebrew (ancient and modern) - Shab-bath = Sabbath
Ancient Syriac - Shab-ba-tho = Sabbath
Babylonian - Sa-ba-tu = Sabbath
Assyrian - Sa-ba-tu = Sabbath
Arabic (ancient and modern) - as-Sabt = The Sabbath
Maltese - Is-sibt = The Sabbath
Ge-ez or Ethiopic - San-bat = The Sabbath
Coptic (Egypt, a dead language for 200 years) - pi sabbaton = The
Sabbath
Persian (Persia; Modern Iran) Shambih or Holiday, Sabbath
Armenian (Armenia) Shapat or Sabbath
Kurdish (Kurdistan) Shamba or Sabbath
Tamashek or Towarek - a-hal es-sabt = The Sabbath day
(from ancient Lybian or Numidian, Atlas Mountains, Africa)
Swahili (East Africa) Assabu or The Sabbath
Hausa (Central Africa) - assebatu = The Sabbath
Malayan (Sumatra) hari Sabtu or Day Sabbath
Greek - Savvato
Portuguese - Sabado
Romanian - Sambata
Russian - Subbota
Prussian (Prussia; Germany) Sabatico or Sabbath
High German (Germany) Samstag or Sabbath's day
Gothic (oldest Germanic language) - Sabbato dags
Italian - Sabato
Spanish - Sabado
Portuguese (Portugal) Sabado

When we talk with all the brothers and sisters in the Islands and Spain, Italy and South and Central America and elsewhere they have no problem recognizing which day is the Sabbath...
