Read the following answers with caution. Everyone wants their language to be the oldest, but the truth is, that written language doesn't go back very far in Human history, and without artifacts of writing, we can't tell what was going on with language, or how it evolved. We can only theorize.

It is not possible to determine the oldest language of Europe or of any other area.

Answer:

Basque

Answer:

the oldest language spoken in Europe is Lithuanian

Answer:

Actually the oldest language still spoke in Europe is Basque. While you can hardly find written proof of this, the language is not descended from any of the indo-european invaders which clearly shows that it was spoken in Europe before any modern day language arrived.

Answer:

Answer:

A lot of studies have said Albanian is the oldest living language also.
