Oldest Language in the World?

It is difficult to determine the oldest language in the world with certainty because languages have been evolving and changing over thousands of years, and many ancient languages have been lost over time. However, based on current linguistic research, there are several contenders for the title of oldest language in the world.

One of the oldest languages still in use today is Tamil, which is spoken in southern India and parts of Sri Lanka. Tamil has been in use for at least 2,000 years and has a rich literary tradition that dates back to the early centuries CE.

Another contender for the title of oldest language is Sanskrit, an ancient language of India that is still used today in Hindu religious ceremonies and classical literature. Sanskrit is thought to have been in use for over 3,500 years and is the ancestor of many modern Indian languages.

Other ancient languages that have contributed significantly to the development of modern languages include Sumerian, which was spoken in Mesopotamia around 4,000 years ago, and Egyptian, which has been in use for over 5,000 years.
