Here are those languages ranked in order from Oldest to Youngest, as far as modern linguistics can determine from inscriptions:

  1. Chinese ( 13th century BCE)
  2. Hebrew (11th century BCE)
  3. Arabic ( 9th-7th Century BCE)
  4. Persian ( 4th-5th century BCE)
  5. Greek ( 3rd century BCE)

These numbers are based on old inscriptions. The actual ages of all of these languages pre-date writing, and are unknown.
