Oldest Languages in the world by writing system: Comparison

This video shows us the approximate age of 50 language writing scripts in the world from newest language script to oldest language script including most well known scripts like old egyptian script, indus script, brahmi, tamil brahmi, latin and greek scripts. A single language can have multiple writing like punjabi that use both gurumukhi and persian script and multiple languages can also uses same script like persian and urdu use the same script.

It is important to note that languages can be much older than their writing system as verbal language existed before written languages. Writing system of language is a method of visually representing verbal communication, based on a script and a set of rules regulating its use. Writing systems were preceded by proto-writing, which used pictograms, ideograms and other mnemonic symbols Which are not included.

Also these data are based on the existing evidences and might be changed as new proofs and evidence get discovered.

Linear Elamite, almost as old as Sumerian cuneiform. It didn't last long and was replaced by Elamite cuneiform.

Also, it's ridiculous to say Greek and Etruscan alphabets have the same age. Obviously Greek was created first, in mainland Greece, then the Greeks colonize Magna Graecia, then the Etrucans adapt their alphabet from that of the Greeks of Magna Graecia.

Mistakes:
0:44 that is urdu not persian
1:25 the gothic alphabet is a font not a language
0:45 the old church slavonic is not used, and it hasn’t evolved
1:34 the arabic script is 2000 years old, not 1800
