Written language was not the begiñning. We'd been talking to each other for tens of millennia prior to that.

Indus valley script, which is not yet deciphered.

[kenlyneham]

The first written language was Sumerian 5, 500 years ago. All other written languages stem from that.
The first spoken language, whatever it was, evolved in Africa because everyone in the world have their origins in Africa.

2:27 - that's not a Sumerian structure, that's the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan in today's Mexico. An approx. half a world away from where Sumer was located.

You're not going back nearly far enough, these languages were well developed and evolved. For the FIRST language, you need to look to the jungles, look at what the chimps and the monkeys use to communicate, as we evolved in that same place, then moved out into the grasslands, needing to evolve those communication skills to cope with the new environment. The first languages probably used utterances for emphasis along with body language. Look at how the Howler Monkeys relate within the troop and notice they have a communal expression too, in the form of a grand chorus, that sounds remarkedly like our Grand Opera. Dancing in the trees seems to be a part of those communal expressions as well as personal expression, much like the Chimps. I think you are tying language too closely to civilization, which is more of a result of language, even if civilization did also helped develop language by encouraging immigration and diversity in expression. Watching a Chimp throwing a tantrum while swinging on a tree, I am seeing a modern pole dancer or a trapeze artist or a four year old Human child also throwing a tantrum. Hearing a two year old trying to say something important in their most primal form, shows that the words are there, but must be translated to the language of the culture. The first language may be more like what Jane Auel suggested.

Sumerian and archaic tamil have similarities, Tamil is the oldest language in the Indian sub continent and carbon dating from excavation have proven 500 bce by beta analysis study.
Still a living language with classical status.
Sanskrit is promoted by right wing ideologies funded by government in the name of revival. Beneficiaries of this fund endorse this and don't speak up for the truth.

Its Gu gu Gaga (some weirdass homosapiens)

[subutayozselanikli]

Nobody knows what it is, but scientists will say that it is a pro-pro-proto Indo-European language.

LoL the Greek It's not a Greek alphabet even though they are using it! It's the Macedonian koine alphabet, in fact the English word greek comes from the Roman Latin word Grecians which was adapted from the Macedonian word Grejci pronounced Greitsi meaning foreigners! As the old expression goes for when you can't understand what is being said "it's all Greek to me"....
There's no previous older greek alphabet, it just appeared out of nowhere!
When the Rosetta Stone was found, the koine alphabet was recognised as was the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the middle text was a mystery at that point in time.
It was believed that it was greek as it existed in the ancient Macedonian city that lay in ruins and thus incorrectly believed that it was greek, the koine alphabet had to be deciphered as no greek could read it while there were people who can read it but they were over in Macedonia! The Greek language was wrapped around the Macedonian koine alphabet which is what is being used by the Greeks today.... That's why there's no older alphabet showing it's development over time!
The middle text on the Rosetta Stone has since been deciphered, it was originally believed to be Egyptian demotic but no one could work it out, it turned out to be ancient Macedonian Sanskrit.... Which means that there had to be some sort of Macedonian hieroglyphs before that to evolve into Sanskrit....
The ancient Greeks aren't as ancient as one would have you believe.... They rely on a Macedonian alphabet, their spoken language sounds Hispanic and just about all greek texts have been rewritten from Macedonian to greek.... If you look hard enough, you can still find text books that appear to be greek but can't be understood by the Greeks...
Alexander the Great buit a library in Alexandria Egypt, this is common knowledge but the question which no one seems to ask is how could Alexander the Great build a library and fill it with books if the idea of a library didn't exist? The point is that there had to be a library back in Macedonia that was considered important and apart of the Macedonian civilization, when is the last time you have heard of a powerful nation of people who are uneducated? The Macedonians understood this well! It's exactly the how and why Alexander the Great could build a library in Alexandria Egypt....
The Greek only show up after the eruption of Santorini volcano which erupted around 1500bce.... The ancient Macedonian city of Hella had to be abandoned, they moved to Pella which left a lot of vacant land for the foreigners to occupy!
These foreigners are the Israelites mentioned in the book of exodus! They came from Palestine after escaping slavery in Egypt!
That's the history of the Greeks in a nutshell.... They turned up in Europe armed with their Christian religion but without an alphabet and largely
History is about what actually was, not what you want it to be! This is why we end up with videos like this, telling people who had no interest in linguistics to believe in incorrect ideology. It doesn't help that the Greeks thoroughly believe it themselves! They seem to have pride in the knowing that they were once a great nation when in fact it was nothing like that at all!
It's written that by the time the Greeks had grown in popularity, the Macedonian King Philip II conquered them, they remained conquered by the Macedonians until Macedonia fell to the Romans and finally again by the Ottoman Empire for another 550 years! They were conquered by the Egyptians also!
A conquered nation of people is utterly incapable of any sort of greatness! They were not allowed to achieve greatness!
Everything about greek history was adopted, stolen and borrowed....
We give them way to much credit for many things that they didn't and couldn't achieve!
It's time to set the record straight!

This is false. Language first appeared in africa for example the first messages that were ever conveyed between humans was found in southern africa (blombos cave) dating to atleast 60, 000 years ago. Also proto-writing was first used and invented in africa which led to writing systems such as cuneiform, hieroglyph, tamil and all other writing on earth today.

[butterflysigh]

well it was obviously with the last God
