Sanskrit may be the oldest language in the world. Some would say it can be dated back five thousand years, although the earliest Vedas, the earliest writings in this language, date from ca. 1500 BCE. Needless to say, Sanskrit was a spoken language for many many years before it was ever written down, but we can never have evidence of when or by whom. Only similarities with other languages in the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European languages suggest a migration from a point further to the west of India, such as Iran.
