The country with the oldest continuously used language system is believed to be China, with the Chinese language dating back thousands of years. The written form of Chinese characters has remained largely unchanged for over two thousand years, making it one of the oldest continuously used writing systems in the world.
The Chinese language originated in China around 1250 BC. It is one of the oldest written languages in the world and has undergone several periods of evolution and standardization. It is a part of the Sino-Tibetan language family.
Chinese written language is the oldest known recorded language It was written on old bones and turtle shells The current written language developed from pictographs There is the traditional style and simplified style developed because so many Chinese were illiterate because the characters were too hard to write. (Mandarin only) The spoken language has four tones and a neutral tone The word for "him, her and it" is all the same (ta) but written differently If you say "Wo de ma ma shi ma ma?" because of the different tones you could be asking "Is your mother a horse?"
It's actually not possible to know, since all Indian languages are older than writing.
The ancient Indo-European language of India is Sanskrit. It is one of the oldest known Indo-European languages and has been highly influential in the development of various languages in the Indian subcontinent. Sanskrit is also the language in which many ancient Indian texts, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, are written.
It is difficult to determine the "oldest" living language definitively, as languages evolve continuously over time. However, languages such as Tamil, Hebrew, and Chinese have ancient roots and are considered some of the oldest continuously spoken languages in the world.
There's no real agreement on this as many languages claim to be the oldest. Greek and Chinese were first written around 1500BC and are among the claimants but modern Chinese and Greeks would hardly understand a word of the original languages.
