Undoubtedly, human beings need to communicate and since time immemorial different cultures have sought ways to establish communication with each other.
From the first known civilization -The Sumerians-, who emerged around 7 millennia before Jesus of Nazareth set foot on earth, different linguistic forms were established.
Clearly it is not necessary to identify the first language spoken for the first time by a human being, but those that date historically, archaeologically and culturally as the oldest can be named.
Hebrew
The language on which the Judeo-Christian tradition is based is at least 4,000 years old, when the stories of the biblical books of Genesis and Exodus occurred.
Emerged in the area that today would represent the current Israel and Palestine, today it is considered a dead language, since its use has decreased significantly since the fourth century and today its value is more educational and historical.
ancient egyptian
It is worth remembering that ancient Egypt lived through three eras, the first of which was 2 millennia before Christ, at which time incredible events occurred, such as the construction of the pyramids and the expansion of a great civilization along the Nile River.
Some of the first pharaohs like Neferkara or Hetepsejemuy had it as their daily language.
Akkadian
The first millennium before Christ gave rise to this language, which was spoken by the Assyrian and Babylonian empires at some point in their history.
King Nebuchadnezzar (the most powerful monarch of all time) used this language and this ruler is known for his great deeds against the Babylonian Empire and its great heyday.
Tamil
Perhaps the only one of the ancient languages still used today (besides Hebrew) and official in many regions with more than 70 million speakers.
It came to light in the third century before our era in India and has spread remarkably since its inception, noting that its lexicon and phonetics have been preserved despite the passing of millennia.
These were just some of the first dialects that appeared on the planet, without neglecting some other languages such as ancient Greek, Basque, Japanese, among others.
Many hypotheses exist about the appearance of the idiomatic, and some are reminiscent of the story of the Tower of Babel, since up to a certain level a common point is achieved. It is time to wait and see what else science brings to light.
