The oldest language is Tamil contrary to the popular belief that it is Sanskrit.
Sankrit language is the mother of the Indo Aryan languages like Hindi and Punjabi but not to the indgenious Languages like Tamil, the mother of all other languages like Malayalm ,Telugu Kannada etc.
Many people will say that Sankskrit was used for writing religious stuffs and etc.. but we all have to understand that the creators of the sanskrit are the Aryans who were intruders to the 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 1500bc after the arrival of the Aryans.
The birth of Tamil Language is unknown but one of the earliest text is even dating back 5000bc, which clearly speaks for itself, Tamil is the OLDEST LANGUAGE
Tamil is the very First and Oldest Language in the World
It is proved by lot of Scientist and also accepted by most of the scientists.
Before Aryans(Sanskrit) comes to India, Dravidian(Tamil) people living in Indai with high standard. Even Aryans don't have any specific language when they comes to India. They develop their language after comes to India only. There is lot of Tamil words in Sanskrit.

β 12y agoIf you are talking about the oldest, continously spoken language, no one knows. The main problem is that language is in a continuous state of evolution, so it's not possible to determine exactly when a language becomes a new language.
Furthermore, virtually all spoken languages pre-date written language, so we have no records.

What is the oldest language in Europe?
ANSWER: The oldest language in Europe still talked today is Welsh. Plus they have the oldest flag in the world The Red Dragon of Wales (second oldest is Denmark's). Some say the Romans brought the Red Dragon there. The answer shown above contains the phrase "still talked today". If the question concerns writing, then the answer is definitely Welsh. Welsh is certainly ONE OF the oldest living languages in Europe. The language became distinct from its predecessor (Brythonic Celtic), and nearest siblings (particularly Cornish) around 550 AD. The oldest documents written in a still-in-use European language are the Welsh poems in Y Cynfeirdd attributed to Taliesin, which date from exactly that period (some are in Welsh, some are in its Celtic precursor). But the last phase of Albanian development from proto-Albanian is thought to have been complete by 500 AD. However, the oldest known written Albanian dates only from 1462. Even the oldest known written reference ABOUT Albanian only goes back to a court record dated 1285, and it's not itself IN Albanian. Spoken Albanian is currently considered to be slightly older than Welsh. Written Albanian probably didn't exist until 1200, many centuries after those first Welsh poems. Albanian is an official language in several Balkan countries. The Basques sometimes claim this title. Their language is certainly the last of a family that is older than Indo-European family. But that doesn't prove that today's Basque is the same as a postulated language that may have been spoken by Basques before 500 AD. There just isn't any proof (either way): no documents in or about it, no similar or derived languages for comparison, too much word borrowing to evaluate from single occasionally discovered cognates.
