One authoritative source that has collected data from all over the world, The Ethnologue, listed the total number of current languages in the world as 6809 (1).  These languages have come from about 20 “proto-langauges.” A “protolanguage” is simply:  a ”recorded ancestral language.”\n\nBased on the criteria of your question the answer is:\n\nAramaic\n\nAramaic is one of the world's oldest languages.  Last year, Aramaic was heard by large audiences in the film "Passion of the Christ", which portrayed the last 12 hours of Christ’s life.  Today this ancient language is spoken by around 15,000 people and is in danger of dying out.\nAramaic precedes Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Sanskrit and is also older then the “proto-language” from which Chinese originated.

It isn't from millions of years in the past, only a few thousand. We translate many languages that old, such as Egyptian and various Cuneiform languages. But knowledge of Hebrew has been remarkably preserved through the millennia compared to these other languages, and we also have many other linguistic tools at our disposal to help us get accurate translations of the Hebrew texts.

The answer lies in your own mindset.  These two languages have existed side by side for many many centuries.  Sanskrit is 'dead' in the sense that it is not used in day to day speech any where. Yet has an amazing power to influence religion, literature and living through its influence. Tamil is spoken in many countries around the world and again has a past that any one can be proud of. They are "foes" only in some minds. \n\ncc

As a casual perusal of multiple reference works on this subject will reveal, the question, "Which is the oldest language?" quite easily generates several suggestions which almost always include one or more of the following venerable candidates: (in no particular order) SUMERIAN, AKKADIAN, CHINESE, EGYPTIAN, PHRYGIAN, SANSKRIT, PHOENICIAN, etc., etc. And, such a list, of course, obliges the questor to make his own limited choice...

It is a local language.It is not the l;anguage of most people of the states which say it is theirs because those people have other languages but are afraid of the Hindi bullies and so falsely state their language as Hindi in the Census.Many of them migrated to Fiji, nothern part of S.America,U.K., USA., etc. where they speak it. Hindi is misused by its native users to bully & cheat others to get jobs & privileges and deprive others. It is not a national language but with English was made an Offical Language. Now, its users do not want English and want others to learn Hindi and asked the U.N. to make it a U.N. language out of sheer ego & hate for others. Sanskrit is not the origin of Tamil. It is not easy to learn Hindi or Sanskrit both of which have cranky grammars. The Govt of India & of some states  made it compulsory for all so tht Hindi speakers an get jobs and othes can be jobless in their own states.It is a new language made from Urdu or Hindustaani & other derivaives of Sanskrit & local dialects of the north India. There are much older other languages such as Tamil which is not derived from Sanskrit .
