No. Greek is the oldest practiced language in Western Europe. Some people forget that Greece is considered a part of Western Europe. This is due to the history of Greece, which made Greece heavily tied to the true geographical definition of Western Europe. The Greek language has been around since about 1400 BCE. Disregarding Greece, Latin would be the oldest "surviving" language of Western Europe. Latin is still official in one country, Vatican City, and many people across the world still learn Latin. In addition, Latin is still used in naming items (from animals to elements). The Latin language was established around 500 BCE. If you don't count Latin, because truly Latin is a dead language, then yes, Welsh is the oldest practiced language in Western Europe, surviving from around 700 CE.
