What is the oldest language in the world? This seems to be a simple and straightforward question. But it is not that simple at all. And before answering, it is necessary to know: what do you mean when you say "the oldest language"?

Your Language is a most fascinating one - I had studied a tiny little bit of it back on 2007. Had noticed quite a few *ASTONISHING* similarities between Malayalam (as well as Telugu!!) and Hungarian; up to a level we might consider talking of a Finno-DRAVIDO-Ugric Language Family.
Not from Tamil. Modern Tamil and Malayalam are siblings of Proto-Tamil. Both Malayalam and Tamil have independent archaic to Proto Tamil. Malayalam acquired the Classical language status from Government of India as it proved it is an independent language for more than last 1500years... Just because the name is same it doesn't prove it is the Father/mother. instagram.com/p/CN2MlZOMZx8/?igshid=lndmicrlkzw0
Tamil! It’s our mother language. So proud to speak in tamil. Shout loud it’s “Thamizh”
I work on phone meaning, the cradle of all language, isolated phones. I identify the afro-semitic ع a strong guttural sound as the oldest human word and meaning : to see. The Th sound means Related to, the M is also a very old phone, and means the materiality, the matter, and keep tis meaning in all languages. I need to heard the word Thamizh, to identify which semitic sound is related. The semitic ظ is closed to an Zh, or the ض.
@@Somniator7 No, I told about Afro-semitic. Not asian languages and their set of phones. Ask if you don't know. lol, it's obvious you congratulated yourself in youtube.

Unbiased and factual analysis! As for the question of whether an ancient language and its modern counterpart could be considered the same language, I use this analogy of Ship of Theseus - we start with the old version and gradually change to the modern version, and at every point of time in between the language is the same X or Y, however, at considerable intervals, there are considerable changes!

The whistle language is in the Canary Islands and it is not really a "language" as in fact what they whistle is Spanish "words" that they, somehow, manage to understand through a lot of practice. But mobile phones are "killing" the silbo o silbo gomero. That is the name of the so-called language.

@@galimre63well, "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha", by Cervantes, from 1605 C.E., is close, though prose. It's largely comprehensible to modern Spanish speakers, although the cultural references are probably obscure. And Shakespeare wrote at about the same time, poems (sonnets) included, though, in addition to the culture, the language has evolved so much that few readers can grasp all of the details (and, in the plays, jokes) without footnotes. How is Hungarian different? Has the language really changed that little in 5 centuries? --- And I wonder about Persian (Farsi/Dari/Tajiki), which dates back over 1,000 years, but I don't know whether modern readers can really understand the original texts from Rudaki, for example. And of course, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese have literature stretching back well before 500 years ago, but I don't know how legible the original forms are to modern readers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if AI was able to eventually figure out the oldest language. My father studied Latin for 10 years and was able to read and speak French, Italian, Spanish and of course English. He was a decoder in the Korean War and had learned to Korean, however, he could understand Korean, but not speak it very well. We were stationed in Japan during the Korean War and he could understand Japanese but not speak it very well either. I have read people who learn to play a musical instrument and read music have an easier time learning another language. My brother is a self taught musician and learned to speak and write Spanish without taking lessons or living in a Spanish speaking country. He did work in a restaurant when he was young with a lot of Spanish speaking people and dated a El Salvadoran women for a couples years, which I’m sure helped him learn Spanish.

Greek has been spoken in the Balkan peninsula since around the 3rd millennium BC,or possibly earlier. The earliest written evidence is a Linear B clay tablet found in Messenia that dates to between 1450 and 1350 BC,making Greek the world's oldest recorded living language. Among the Indo-European languages, its date of earliest written attestation is matched only by the now-extinct Anatolian languages.

Of course Hungarian is the oldest language! :D 1) It remained unique even surrounded by indo-european languages. 2) Most of the vocabulary is the result of evolution from ancient word stems like KöR/GöR -> KöR = circle KeRek = round KeRék = wheel KeRül = gets around KaRol = arms/hugs GöRdül = rolls like a wheel GuRul = rolls lika a ball GöRbe = curve/bent As you can see there is only two word stems in connection between the English counterparts -> CiRcle / CuRve, but both are loanwords from Latin. What about the Tamil language? Could someone do such comparison?

I love the ideas and questioning. Thank you very much. It seam language influence thought and evolution. Language doesn't stop us from thinking, but it can bias our thoughts. We are influenced by the ideas (true or false) that language conveys, sometimes in a strictly implicit way just because it has or does not have a word to distinguish two concepts.
The Hadza people have been living in the same location in Tanzania for at least 70,000 years. When the rest of modern humans had walked away from the place of origin, the Hadza were the ones who stayed. Their present language may not be mutually intelligible with its prehistoric ancestor (because no present language is mutually intelligible with its prehistoric ancestor), but from the point of view of continuity, the Hadza people and their language have the longest continuity in the world. Respect.

Tamil is the oldest dravidian language, but written attestations of it are only about as old as greek written records. We just know it's older than other languages like telugu due to archaic bits in the language from what is expected in proto-dravidian. Sort of like how lithuanian shows signs of being extremely old in the indo-european language family. The oldest living language we have written records of is egyptian which we find the first written sentences in the 4th millenium, the early 4th millenium, almost 4700 years ago. Modern coptic uses a different alphabet than ancient egyptians, but most of its vocabulary comes from ancient Egyptian, with only a small amount of borrowed greek words.

The Ge'ez language is believed by scholars to be circa 5,000 years old, making it (one of) the oldest of all languages. The language is still spoken today by Southern Semitic peoples, like the Ethiopian and Eritrean peoples.
The written form of Ancient Chinese is approximately 10,000 yrs. old. Proto-Australian was spoken 10,000 years ago. I would look for the "Regis Philbin' final answer' " in a primal people (such as the Australian Aborigines) somewhere on the planet. For example, the Australian Aboriginal peoples comprised of approximately 500 different tribes each with its own language have been around 45,000 years or longer. 😊😊
Any proof😂
Chinese people have a history of forging lies to create a sense of identity and feel superior. Those people actually say they are not homo sapiens. They branched off and are different from everyone else. I don’t believe anything that comes out of China historically.

I (native lang English) struggle with Shakespeare on paper and almost certainly would not understand it spoken. Yet it is far more similar to modern English than is, say, Biblical Aramaic to modern Turoyo or Surayt. Likewise, while Lithuanian glories in its archaicness, it is entirely incomprehensibe to a Sanskrit speaker except for the occasional cognate (agnis / ugnis for example). I think an interesting question might be, what is the time span within which a language remains similar enough to still be called a language? Like "Modern English" (as opposed to Middle English) or "French" as opposed to Medieval French. Or Old Church Slavonic vs modern Bulgarian. etc. etc. How many centuries does it take to shift beyond ready comprehensibility? On average, obviously languages change at different rates.

Lately, my thinking is drawn to the idea that the "trees" used in the studies of Languages, Anthroplogy, Biology, etc. should be replaced by something more closely resembling a "weave". Many older languages are embedded or woven into Modern Languages; the same is true in Anthropology for Modern Humans (for example, the Neanderthal Genome seems "distributed" throughout the Human Genome.) Just a thought. Anyway, thank you for the video, it's very interesting.
I am glad to see that you’re doing a great job, and I want to mention one thing about the Tamil. According to you version that Tamil exists about 300 bc, but according to Tamil literature that they mention that Tamil was exist since 22000 years B.C.the land scape called Kumarik kandam. Kumarik kandam was destroyed by floods and the people were escaped from their to other places. Tamil exists science that time.
"3000 years ago, a great poet of India, Kaniyan Pungundranar wrote in Tamil the most ancient language of the world "யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்" (Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir) which means 'We belong to all places, and to everyone'.
Dr.Abdul kalam also said about this Poet in European Parliment.

Why we can find traces of Tamil else where around the world from cameroon to korea to indonesia to malaysia but Hindi language is confined to north india only? This is because originally the dravidians were hunter gatherers and not agriculturists.. the hunter gatherers mindset is to travel around especially using sea/river routes that is how south india established as a spice boulevard thousands of years ago during indus civilisation.. otherwise the aryans are more to agriculturists mindset where they wouldnt travel much but establish a static civilisation jz like in egypt and mesopotamia.. that is why our tamil culture even till today are more prone to hunter gatherer way of life and this culture is kept maintained till today and similarly our hunter gatherers kind of culture which we cud see even in the Palayas with AASI genepool, they were not agriculturists to begin with.. that is why hunter gatherers are more concentrated around the coastal area as out of africa theory suggests the beginning of civilisation started from walking out of africa around Ethiopia where they found the oldest human bones which dates to around 150000 years ago.. so the tamil ppl were more nomadic compared to north indians.. thus the emergence of tamil words else where around the world.. everything can be linked

I have never thought about thiscquestion to be honest. But what comes to my mind directly are isolated communities of people who had no contact to other people, like thebone living on an island in the indian ocean ( North Sentinel Island) As far as I know these people live among themselves for about 50.000 years, and they surely communicate with each other. To me their language is a good candidate for being the oldest language in the world.
But they visibly came from Africa where the mother of all languages is supposed to have been created.

Linguistics has always fascinated me, finding the root sounds and words that link us together thru thousands of years of history. Afrikaans in particular has always been interesting to me, as you can hear the Dutch/German/Spanish/etc. influences in the tones and emphasis on certain words/syllables. A simple word like "Night" sounds so similar in Latin/Spanish/German. Just found your channel, and it's been amazing so far, keep it up!
To help: - Most ancient (sound) is the one language "which" with smallest word explains larger meaning, simpler explained "with one word to understand - instead of half hour talking". So, I needed 27 words to explain, that means "English is among the newest- latest". Written can be "one sign" to replace 27 words. Some languages have that. (The first is the "alien" language and signs, but nobody uses it any more (tens of millions years), needs genetics to be changed-reversed into better, what had been... some have joy to do it. But that low percent% does not play role in billions. "What you eat that you are" - some say, not whole truth but has some particles in it. I say differently: "What You drink that You are, just not to be alcohol or urine".) I (felt) was free to express my feelings. I can't if I forget my first language, I would start to laugh constantly if I forget it, and would die in matter of days or months. So, if something is holding me, that's the language "nobody knows" (for the knowledges I don't have doubts I'm the last and first). Another fact: languages come/came from cold parts of the planet. Some fun fact: 30,000 years ago been built pyramids in Bosnia/Europe, from cement, so those quantities had to exist huge factories,... doubts without language and letters 30,000 years ago that kind of technology would exist, same as today (- even today rare somebody knows to recreate same strong cement-beton, in billion tons, billion cubics.)

Language has two parts, compositions/sounds and scripts for putting over some media paper/rock. Indian Vedas are the oldest compositions known. Compositions have sounds only as original. Then scripts got developed which in turn evolved over time. So, by the age of composition, Vedas are the oldest "Bhasa" expression of feelings.

@SIDDHAARTH MANIAN Malayalam is a Dravidian language and most of the dravidian language words are adopted from Tamil, did you have any doubt about this just google and see the magic. Anyways we don't see languages separately because all the southern languages are comes in the category of dravidian family and mother for this family is considered as Tamil...
@SIDDHAARTH MANIAN Then it can't be said as a pure language
It might be worth looking into the language called these days `magyar` (Hungarian). An extremely refined, organic and complete language with no gender for words and spoken only by ca. 15 million people. It also has a kind of a runic alphabet similar to the Sumerian and ancient Egyptian, which pre-dates the current latin alphabet.
Fantastic dear. Only with deep and open minded research and studies will lead to this level understanding. The changes, evolution and transformation for better are imminent. The sounds, noise, facial and body language, were originated and gradually evolved into what we are hearing now. This process keep going. Humans may research history of their languages, however animal kingdom has contributed a lot for mankind many aspects. 🙏
