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 500bc, which clearly speaks for itself, Tamil is the OLDEST LANGUAGE

The oldest known written language is Sumerian, which dates back to around 3200 BCE. However, there are spoken languages, such as Tamil and Hebrew, that have been spoken for thousands of years and have evolved over time. It is difficult to determine the "oldest" language as languages develop and change over time.
