Kind of goes back to my first post on this thread, though. Can one say that the Dragon Language was made by Akatosh just because he created the Dragons? It would be like asking if whatever power you believe in created the language you speak simply because he created you, same premise as my point. And it may seem like a silly point, but consider the following in conjunction with it:

If Akatosh created the Dov and they in turn developed the language of their own accord, shouts would be made as they are needed, and only in that order. However, if Akatosh created both the Dov and the Dragon Tongue, then all Dov would have been brought into being with the ability to speak it all at once. What that means, is that they were all brought into existence together, both the Dov and all the Shouts. So if the Thu'ums were created in a certain order, it would be out of need or desire, I believe. This makes Slow Time a lower priority, I would think, and therefore not the first shout.
