Yeah.....Cherry's right........Sankrit is the root of almost all the languages in India....Tamil,Telugu,Hindi etc.....
the older arabic (proto-arabic) texts are dated 800 BC, the old Chinesse texts are dated in the Zhau dynasty (1122BC as the oldest date, The earliest attested Sanskrit texts are Hindu texts of the Rigveda, which date to the mid-to-late second millennium BCE. Is valid to take in consideration that oral tradition is always older than written text, so is one thing to take in consideration, anyways, it seems to de that sanskrit is the oldest one
