Let's take a fascinating linguistic journey back in time to discover the oldest languages known to humankind! Deep within the annals of history, we find languages like Sumerian, dating back to around 4,000 BCE, spoken in ancient Mesopotamia. Then there's Egyptian, with its mysterious hieroglyphs, originating around 3,200 BCE, captivating us with tales of pharaohs and pyramids. Traveling eastward, we encounter Tamil, a Dravidian language spoken in South India, boasting a rich history dating back over 2,200 years.
