1)sanskrit(this language is so old that it's antiquity can never be traced but according to historical evidence this atleast dates back to 30000 years because of the discovery of city of dwaraka which has been ,mentioned in the vedas composed of vedic sanskrit)

2)tamil(this may be a surprise for people as many consider it to be just 2300 years old but this extremely wrong kumari kandam or lemuria has been described in ancient tamil scriptures,silappathikaram takes place in lemuria or kumari kandam)
