This Video shows the History and Projection of the total number of speakers of the top 50 languages from 1950 to 2100. The metric in this video refers to TOTAL speakers. So for example a person who speaks both English and Mandarin is counted in both of those categories.

Tamil(தமிழ்) is the oldest language in the world.above 10cr+ people speak tamil in india,srilanka,malaysia,Singapore also official language

Lol - There other ancient languages than Tamil - for example Sumerian is older than Tamil - Infact Proto dravidian is also older than Tamil - Proto dravidian is mother of Dravidian languages. Tamil might have the oldest recorded literature, not as language. Because lots of ancient languages are spoken orally before written like Sanskrit..

Imposible to predict, but with migration levels in both Europe and Americas, plus people mobility who knows what’s going to happen with the languages you know today. Let’s take English, for example… USA is English top ambassador, but constant migration and mingling with Spanish world will transform the English language you know today. Arabic language impact in Europe?….Food for thought.

The reason for the breakdown of Arabic is because each dialect is very different from each other.

In real, punjabi in Pakistan is dying, because it's not even recognized as the the Punjab province's official language. App. 44% people speak Punjabi as their native language and 70% can speak and understand it. But still it's not the official language of Pakistan. Instead they recognized urdu as their official language . Which is the language of Lucknow. Punjabi isn't even taught in school in Pakistan. The future of punjabi in Pakistan is dark.
