Sanskrit is the mother of the Indo Aryan languages like Hindi and Punjabi but not to the indigenous Languages like Tamil, the mother of all other languages like Malayalm ,Telugu Kannada etc. Many people will say t…hat Sanskrit was used for writing religious stuff etc. but we all have to understand that the creators of Sanskrit were the Aryans who were intruders on Indian soil and they mingled with the native Dravidians ,who spoke the native language Tamil. Then, after the Aryans fabricated Hinduism, Sanskrit became the basic language in which all religious Hindu texts were written; the birth of Sanskrit is only during 1500 BCE after the arrival of the Aryans. The birth of Tamil Language is unknown but one of the earliest texts is even dating back to 5000 BCE, which clearly speaks for itself. Tamil is the OLDEST LANGUAGE Answer to above: Not scientific.
