There are two languages which are the assumed oldest languages of India. One is the holy Sanskrit and another is the great Tamil. According to Hinduism, God Shiva, the Destroyer had sent two saints to Earth- one was Sage Veda Vyasa ( who wrote Mahabharata) and the other was Sage Agastya. Both were saints of fame and honor. Before, both the saints had died, the people living on Earth had requested them to give a gift to mankind. So, Vyasa introduced Sanskrit and Agastya introduced Tamil.

Scientifically, Tamil can be said the oldest language of India, as inscriptions are found not only in India but also in other countries like Rome and South-East Asia.
Ancient Sanskrit. Like Aramaic it is a dying language, with speakers only in the hundreds or thousands. Sanskrit is the oldest language in the world, according to scriptures, which are thousands of years old (the oldest scriptures on Earth) Vedas etc.

While you can hardly find written proof of this, the language is not descended from any of the indo-european invaders which clearly shows that it was spoken in Europe before any modern day language arrived.Answer:The oldest language spoken in Europe today is probably Greek. Alexander the Great standardized Greek and based it on the Ionian language. A person of that era could read the Greek used today.Answer:A lot of studies have said Albanian is the oldest living language also.
