Deepan T Prior to Sanskrit was Proto Indo-Aryan. Prior to that was Proto Indo-Iranian. Prior to that was the Proto Indo-European language. And I’m sure there was something even older. Languages evolve over time so maybe Tamil hasn’t changed much but other languages have. So you can’t really say one is older than the other because they all have an unbroken chain to an earlier language.

The vocabulary is pretty much the same, it's only the grammar that has changed so much but still it's the same language, it should have been included.

I wonder if some of the aboriginal languages of Australia might be older, but since they didn’t write we can never tell. Also, Chinese characters may have been in use 3000 years ago but we can’t know if they were pronounced in anything like the modern way.

How about Greek? Greeks can read ancient Greek, unless you interviewed someone who cannot read at all. If what you call "Macedonian" is on your list, why not Greek?

I thought this channel was more professional and insightful that it has just demonstrated to me. To claim that Macedonian is one of the oldest language in the world is nothing else but ridiculous. It is known to everyone that prior to 1945 Macedonian was referred to as a Bulgarian language by both native and foreign linguists. What is more, it was an artificially created twang which is a mix of some of the westernmost Bulgarian dialects and some Serbian words, which per se form a linguistic continuum anyway, which the narrator as a native German speaker should be perfectly familiar with.

Exactly. My great grandmother used to tell us it was completely reformed and that they would read and write like us Serbs did before they were forced the new grammar upon themselves. It wasn't quite Bulgarian, but she would tell us the differences between Serbian and this Macedonian language was minimal as the grammar was nothing like the modern one. As for the channel, EA languages could have made it to the list...

modern greek words have at least two ancient greek words inside of them. Ex Αλέξω in ancient greek means (prevent or block) in modern greek this word have been fused with other ancient words. Ex. Αλεξίπτωτο which means parachute, get it? :) Αλέξω and πτώση (prevent and falling) or αλεξί and πτωτό (it's the same, don't ask me how it's a greek thing) became parachute. So the ancinet greek language never died, it just became shorter. We still speak it but a little bit different :P

You are creating false discontinuity - there is no beginning or end to a language, At no time do a people stop talking and then just start fresh from scratch. This is like saying there is a new ethnic group or an old one - nope, we're all equally ancient descendants of the first humans. There's too much false ideology parading as science today.

Macedonian has very little to do with OCS. It can be considered very close to modern Bulgarian - the grammar of which is not even indo-european, as it comes from the language of the Bulgars, the origins of which are debated, but many think it is related to Turkic. On the other hand the vocabulary of Bulgarian and Macedonian is slavic. The slavic language which Cyril and Methodius got to know, was not influenced by Bulgars, it was close to common slavic of that period. All the confusion comes from the writings of some russian scholars, who called OCS "Old Bulgarian". This was sort of convenient to the pan-slavic movement, inspired by russian imperialism, while in fact of the modern languages Russian is the closest to OCS - because the latter was the liturgical language of the Orthodox Church.

@@sebastienlopezmassoni8107 I would not attribute this to Tatars and Turks. They conquered many other Slavic tribes and there is not much influence over those languages. Maybe some vocabulary, yet the core grammar stayed intact. With Bulgarian / Macedonian we can even trace the uniqueness (the loss of Slavic case system) to the founders of Bulgarian nation - Kubrat, Asparuh, being turkic Bulgars. These names are still in use in Bulgaria and practically absent in other Slavic countries.

Lithuanian is quite close to Late PIE but not the oldest. For example, Celtic languages, have some archaic features even if they are not that conservative. In a way, all languages are old, apart from the contstucted ones. In Greece, there are some 'pre-Greek' words, that imho, have parallels with both PIE and Finnic, for example a word today pronounced ofthalmos 'eye', taking into account ancient alternative types, the modern Tsakonian one etc points to something like okw-tsalm-os, which is imo apparently related to Slavic oko, Lithuanian akis and protoFinnic silma at the same time, but that is not accepted. Either way, European languages have words that are of Palaeolithic origin ultimately but not exclusively European, even though I believe the Gravettian culture has influenced directly and indirectly all West Eurasian languages.

Do you know anything about the possible connection between Japanese and Finnish? I went to Finland for the first time this year and after hearing the language for the first time, recognized it as sounding something like Japanese. Even the spellings of Japanese using our alphabet sort of looks like Finnish. So I searched the internet a little bit and found some information suggesting a connection due to migrations of Siberian people east and west.

I do not think it's fair to say that Irish was spoken on the island of Great Britain before Germanic influences. It might suggest to some people that it predates Welsh or that it was spoken across the island, generally. When, in fact, it does not predate Welsh on the island of Great Britain (though its literary heritage on the island of Ireland may predate surviving records of written Welsh, the surviving records of a written Goidelic language on Great Britain do not predate those of Welsh), and it was only spoken in a handful of communities on the west coast of Great Britain before Germanic influence. By the time that we have influences coming in from Anglo-Saxon and Norse, the Goidelic language spoken in Wales would have died out and the Goidelic language spoken in Scotland would be better described as Scottish Gaelic, and not as Irish.

Stop perceiving everything as racist and white supremacist. Making arbitrary conclusions is not smart. You're not "woke" for screaming "WHITE SUPREMACY" at every occasion. This video got a lot of things wrong and it's not absolute truth but it sure isn't eurocentric. It's just that there are many European languages still spoken to this day. Indo-European is the most widely spoken language family. English, Spanish and Portuguese have replaced many indigenous languages in the Americas. Plus, more obscure languages such as Tungusic and more secluded Uralic languages aren't very widely spoken and we don't have much info on them. We have more info on Indo-European languages because they are very widely spoken and have a fairly old history of writing. Correlation doesn't imply causation. Don't make such arbitrary, politically biased conclusions. Go with common sense and reason instead.

Grover S. Krantz: The Hungarians are the progenitors of European civilization Grover S. Krantz (1931-2002), a world-renowned American anthropologist and professor at Washington State University, in his work "The Geographical Formation of European Languages", recognizes Hungarian, which until now has been treated as a stepchild of Europe, as the founder of Europe's civilization. According to him, the u.n. "Indo-European languages" developed very late in Europe. That is why 30% of their vocabulary is not of "Indo-European" origin, and there are no "Indo-European" river names on the early maps of Europe. We are more interested in the following sentence: "...so the Greek language was formed in its current location in 6500 BC, and the Celtic language in Ireland in 3500 BC. The antiquity of the Hungarian language in the Carpathian Basin is similarly surprising; I find that its origins lead to the Mesolithic, preceding the Stone Age." Furthermore: "At least on one important point, the theory of people's migration is the opposite of the previous theorem. It is generally believed that the Hungarians of the Urals lived in the 9th century. century, they moved into the Carpathian basin from an eastern area. I find that all groups speaking the Uralic language spread from Hungary, in a much earlier age, in the opposite direction." Grover S. Krantz, The Geographical Formation of European Languages.

Every Greek word-term carries a heavy load of consciousness IT'S THE LANGUAGE THAT EXPRESSED SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION, THEATER, LEGISLATION MATHEMATICS,RELIGION MUSIC, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN IMAGINE! In the Greek language is implanted all knowledge gained by man until the present moment. Every Greek word term bears a heavy cognitive load, and even if there was no other reference, even if there had not survived any antediluvian monument, it would enough knowledge in to the Greek language as proof of the existence in the past of a great civilization era. The Greek language came to the existence more than 50,000 years ego! anton-dion.blogspot.ca/2014/04/the-celestial-origin-of-greek-language.html BY THE WAY....HOW IS POSSIBLE TO CALL A SLAVIC LANGUAGE MACEDONIAN? Macedonia is a province in northern Greece,and the real Macedonians are Greeks,as they are the ATHENIANS,and the SPARTANS...Those in Skopje are Slavs and have not right to call their Country Macedonia,and their language Macedonian!
