Which is the oldest living language?

Egyptian and Sumerian

Guys, have you ever heard about Lithuanian language? I was searching for information on this topic and found that this is one of the oldest language in the world (in europe most probably oldest). Does anyone have some info on this?

Probably the oldest European language is Basque. A language which developed from the stone age language in Europe and probably the only one which does not come from Asia
The Lithuanian language is believed to be the most conservative living Indo-European language,
In linguistics, a conservative form, variety, or modality is one that has changed relatively little over its history, or which is relatively resistant to change.

Sanskrit is Vedic language, Sumerian (2900 BC) is oldest one.

I would like to bring to every one reading all these answers that there is a grammar in dravidian language and sanskrit that is called 'puNarchi' in tamil. This grammar is about using tow or more words joined together and used as a single word. By this way it is possible to write up to or more than thirty letters continiously and read as a single word! I don't think a grammar like this is in use in any of the lanuages in the world.

Joining of the words will bring a new meaning to the context different from the meaning they would impart when they are used sepperately!

For example, 'we ate not mangoes' means what it means. but if you join all the words together ( in Tamil) it will imply that some other people ate mangoes!
This meaning is understood without being said!

see this another example:

If you say, 'I killnot him' the man hearing you will ask you,' then what did you do him?'

And if you say 'I killnothim' ( all words joined as in Tamil) the man will ask you, then who did you kill.

only if you tell him, 'Ikillnothim' he will understand that somebody would have killed him!

so, joining the different words at different places will impart different meanins to the context in Tamil.

with this feature, Tamil language can produce different meanings to a sentence withthout changing the words or the order of the words but just only by joining different words at different places!

Is there any other language in the world that has this unique speciality in using its words?

You are talking about the German language, right?

If not, I'll see the Betäubungsmittelverschreibungsverordnung for you..

which simply means you are afraid of long words - or does not it.

That's fascinating.

Have you ever heared that Berber is among the first languages?

Sanskrit.

Many linguists and geographers focus on the area near the plains of Shinar. Written history goes back only about 5000 years. If Josephus and Moses are correct, that would coincide with the disbursing events in Babylon about 5000 +/- years back. At that time, the prevailing language was that of the Jews. making Hebrew the oldest living language

Tamil is the oldest language and it has so many literatures that can prove loudly that it is the oldest and also the language used to talk with God and devargal and asurargal (now considered as aliens). Sadly its the language of a state and not a country. Hence its not known for all. Sanskrit precedes Tamil, but it is no more a living language as speech.

So, Tamil is the oldest and the language of the world from which and also from Sanskrit, all the other languages derived. It also had grammer rules of how a language should be.

Mankind is said to start from Africa but no, its Kumari continent (Kumari Kandam) that linked Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and Australia. Its under water now and was ruled by Tamilans. 2 sangams called first Tamil sangam and second Tamil sangam happened there which was visited by devargal (good men living in outer space, now considered as aliens).

Many people don't know these stuff. But archeologist should find this continent and research there to prove these stuff and tell the world.

But you don't know them, right?


Your assertions about Kumari Kandam are only that.

Similar to the chronological age of the earth being 6 ooo years old..

I know a few info about them. Its called illakanam (rules of how the grammer format should be) and illakiyam, (poems wrote according to that illakanam). Many such poems have been destroyed due to various reasons.

About kumari kandam, lots and lots of evidence are there in Tamil literature. Many Tamil literatures point out that Lord Murugan, killed a asura king in kumari kandam after breaking a big mountain there. Lord Muruga, son of Lord Shiva dominated southern India, the kumari kandam and is worshipped as God till now in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. All literatures including Lord Muruga and also local stories about him revolves about this kumari kandam.

We can find notes of such unknown things from old literature only. For more proof more research is needed on the submerged site of kumari continent.
