The oldest language is Tamil contrary to the popular belief that it is Sanskrit. Sankrit language is the mother of the Indo Aryan languages like Hindi and Punjabi but not to the indgenious Languages like Tamil, the mother of all other languages like Malayalm ,Telugu Kannada etc. Many people will say that Sankskrit was used for writing religious stuffs and etc.. but we all have to understand that the creators of the sanskrit are the Aryans who were intruders to the 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 1500bc after the arrival of the Aryans. The birth of Tamil Language is unknown but one of the earliest text is even dating back 500bc, which clearly speaks for itself, Tamil is the OLDEST LANGUAGE
No malayam is not the oldest language as per malayalam literature it has history spanning for 1000 years only but in india Sanskrit & Tamil are the oldest languages which has literature history spanning for more than 2000 years..... Greek and Latin are the oldest languages in the world......
Tamil is a Dravidian language, not an Aryan language. The Dravidian languages are a separate language family from the Indo-Aryan languages, which includes languages like Hindi, Bengali, and Punjabi. Tamil has a rich literary tradition and is one of the oldest classical languages in the world.
