∙ 13y agoThe origins of spoken language lie in our more developed ancestors and would have been a simple proto-language, not as complex as our language today (which has a much broader range of sounds and complex grammar). Communication would have began with the unspoken language we still use today, body language.
Although we do not know what this first spoken language with grammar and syntax was, it is likely it appeared somewhere between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago in Africa.
The first language of man is still part of us today. it is part of our primal vocabulary.
words like mama! and the mmmm! and ah! sounds that we make when we come to an understanding are, all part of a our primal vocabulary. if man started in African then migrated then wherever it started is where language started. first we have to find out what is the old living language that can be understood and take it from there.
In Africa I am sire there was a language that is still used today where you almost click and tick with your mouth i am sure that was used a long time ago. Boola boola "that means run"

∙ 8y agoThere is no record as to what the first language was. Partially because writting was invented somewhere in the 3rd millinea BC while spoken language existed many millennia before. Most Old World languages can be traced to the Proto-Indo-European language. The "Language of the Birds" has been used from time to time as name of the language of Nimrod, the Babylonian king who tried to build a tower to Heaven. For his pride, his people were cursed, and no longer spoke a common language. The term was also used in Renaissance Europe, refered to as the language that held the true names of all things.

∙ 13y agoThis is unknown. In order for current linguists to know of a language, it must either:
(1) be currently spoken
(2) have been spoken in the presence of someone currently alive
(3) leave some written evidence (either a written form of the language, or be written about by someone else)
Since writing was invented far after spoken language (several 100s of thousands of years), and it is almost certain that homo sapiens was not the first branch of humanity to speak, option #3 above is impossible.
Languages have shown an incredible tendency to mutate and evolve over time, so much so that few languages have remained similar enough over periods of even 1000 years to even be called the same. This dynamic process of change results in the relative quick extinction of a particular form of a language. Thus, the amount of time a given language is spoken is relatively short, measured at most between 2-3,000 years. So, given that writing appeared approximately 6,000 years ago, we have no direct evidence of any language via a spoken form that we don't also have through written attestation.
What all this means that language changes so fast, was invented so very long ago, and since writing is a (relatively) recent invention, that we have no idea what languages were spoken prior to about 4,000 BCE.

∙ 15y agoIt is impossible to say exactly what is the first known language. The first well-documented languages were:
1. Asia- Sumerian cuneiform, South Mesopotamia (Iraq) in the 5th millennium B.C. , and Chinese ideograms, 4th millennium B.C.
2. AFRICA- Aegyptian hieroglyphs ,4th-3th millennium B.C.
3. EUROPE- Indo-Aryan or Indo-European language, i.e. an unrecorded prehistoric language from which nearly all European languages are descended , c.2500 B.C.

"No, people in the Vatican learn Latin but only after they have learned Italian or another language." False. Latin is still spoken as a first language in a very small area in Romania.

So there are not many people, but some is better than none.
