WHAT is the world’s oldest language still spoken today?

C Mayo, Rotherham A

RECENT archaeological evidence suggests that Tamil spoken in the Indian sub-continent could have been the language used by the Indus civilisation and even the Sumerians.

References to rivers that dried up 10,000 years ago are seen in Tamil literature. In fact, there is a possibility that Tamil was the root of Sanskrit, in turn the root of all Indo European languages.
