Sorry, it's totally impossible to answer this one. It's bad enough trying to sort out which is the oldest one still in use. Languages change, and there are probably no languages around now that were around when men first started to talk. The evolution of a grunt and squeak type system into words would not be overnight, and the first thing that could really be called a language would be very primitive, and will have died out long before the earliest ones we have evidence of, or can reconstruct. Language may have come about in different places independently, as well. Being entirely spoken (until the invention of writing, of course), early language will not have survived in any recognisable form. After writing came in, there's less problem. However, we were talking a very long time before anyone found a way of recording what was said.
