The oldest language is Tamil contrary to the popular belief that it is Sanskrit.

Sanskrit is the mother of the Indo Aryan languages like Hindi and Punjabi but not to the indigenous Languages like Tamil, the mother of all other languages like Malayalm ,Telugu Kannada etc.

Many people will say that Sanskrit was used for writing religious stuff etc. but we all have to understand that the creators of Sanskrit were the Aryans who were intruders on Indian soil and they mingled with the native Dravidians ,who spoke the native language Tamil.

Then, after the Aryans fabricated Hinduism, Sanskrit became the basic language in which all religious Hindu texts were written; the birth of Sanskrit is only during 1500 BCE after the arrival of the Aryans.

The birth of Tamil Language is unknown but one of the earliest texts is even dating back to 5000 BCE, which clearly speaks for itself. Tamil is the OLDEST LANGUAGE

Answer to above:

Not scientific. The account for the oldest written accounts, gives numerous Middle East extinct variants the lead. The most ancient still spoken language is Greek, by first written account. It is possible that either Chinese or Greek were the first, but Greek has the first written texts, from what Archaeology studies have unveiled.

Tamil is the oldest language now in use that is spoken by more than 65,000,000 people.

please don't compare Tamil with sanskrit ..

Tamil is classical language .. it can survive on its own ..so still alive..

what happen to sanskrit.. no one speaks today..

The truth is, there is no way to know, because all languages are in a state of continuous change, and virtually all languages today have been around longer than their writing systems.

The most ancient theoretical language that we know of is a linguistic construct language called Proto-World, or Proto-Human.
