You're certainly much more of an authority here than I am, and I don't doubt you're correct. The Wikipedia quotes at least show why I would have such a misconception. Thanks for clearing it up!
Oh, of course they didn't speak what's considered a Min language today, but you never specified that in your question. You said "Name a language currently spoken whose name is identical to a Chinese word, recorded in the oracle-bone inscriptions, for an ancient barbarian tribe or state." Only the name had to be from the oracle bones, not the language. Anyway, you've demonstrated that the name probably isn't, either, so it's not important. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Irish. To say "I have a car," you say "there is a car at me."
Name a language which modern speakers can understand the ancient/classical from of without much difficulty (by way of contrast, an Old English text would be nigh on incomprehensible to a modern native speaker of English).
