I would think Aramic, Egyptian or Greek would be the oldest. Didn't Jesus speak Aramic and all the old kings spoke either Aramic or Greek. But if you search for this online it says the sumerian language is the oldest spoken. So now I guess the answer really is sumerian.

The oldest for sure is Latin, from wich many languages are derived. There are in italian, french spanish and other languages many words in latin. Another very old one is Greek for the same reason I already wrote. Looking at spoken languages, I think the oldest is chinese or japanese....followed by greek, german and russian. More is complicated a language, more is older I think. So following this things, english would be the latest, because it's a simply one
