BTW: Languages like Greek have changed completely I heard it was Tamil, is this true!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you are asking the oldest known language then the Sumerian or possibly Egyptian!. If you are asking for the oldest still SPOKEN language then that is hard to say!. As you have pointed out, most languages are evolving!. Many languages (such as English) from 500 years ago could not be recognized as the same language today!. It's true that there was a spoken form of Greek in 1500 BC during the Bronze Age, but if a Bronze Age Greek was transported to Modern Athens, he or she would probably not be able to understand Modern Greek!. Even speakers of Classical Greek (500 BC) are lost in Athens unless they have also learned Modern Greek!. It's not been made easier since many languages have only recently had a written language!. A possible argument for Hebrew being the oldest language appears here: <>http://www!.greeklatinaudio!.com/oldlang!.h!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Tamil has been around for some 2000 years!.
