What is the oldest language in the world?

Through historic books, we seem to know that Latin and Sanskrit are the oldest languages in the world, are there any other language that existed before them?

I cued this from elsewhere for you, "Undoubtedly, Tamil is the oldest living language. Recent archaeological evidence suggest that Tamil could have been the language used by the Indus civilization and even the Sumerians. References to rivers that dried up 10000 years back are seen in Tamil literature. Also, there are references to a lost continent, which is believed to be buried under the Indian ocean. We need more archaeological research in the ocean to get concrete proofs for this. In fact, there is a possibility that Tamil was the root of sanskrit, which is believed to be the root of all Indo European languages. Till date, we can trace almost 60 - 70 % of Sanskrit words to their roots in Tamil." but left to me alone i will agree it's LATIN.
