The Ge'ez language is believed by scholars to be circa 5, 000 years old, making it (one of) the oldest of all languages. The language is still spoken today by Southern Semitic peoples, like the Ethiopian and Eritrean peoples.

தமிழ் என்பது மொழி அல்ல. எங்களது உயிர். Tamil is not just a language but our soul.

I am surprised that you did not mention Hebrew as one if the oldest languages that is still alive today. People who know Hebrew can read and partially understand text of more than 2000 year old.

99% comments were about Tamil and Tamilians ❤❤

I'm too a Tamilian ❤

[IamShrikantTyagi]

This comment has been deleted as I didn't realise people will fight to death here on Sanskrit vs Tamil. I regret that I did it casually one day and then i came back here few months later and whoa....people are trying to prove something that can't be proved and doesn't even matter. Why so much hatred guys?

As an english speaker, I see no problem with reading and deciphering english from 300 years ago.
