Tamil
Government of India declared Tamil as Classical Language and Tamil is a living classical language and considered to be the first language of Mankind. So Tamil is obviously an Ancient Language, so adding Tamil as sub category of Ancient Languages. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acrajan (talk • contribs).


 * Tamil is not the first language of mankind. Please cite any non-DMK digure remotely agreeing with such a wild assertion. Baka man  23:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Tamil is the first language of the mankind for reference read the book THE PRIMARY CLASSICAL LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD, all kind of proofs and evidences are given there how other languages borrowed words from Tamil. Tamil is the actual origin of Human's Civilization. Rajan 10:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Tamil is hardly the first language, of course this is a parpanar talking, so my words carry no weight. Baka man  02:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Considering all languages evolved from a previous language, with evidence or not I propose putting all languages allong with Tamil and Armenian under this category under Acrajan's criteria. Enlil Ninlil 22:32, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Description

 * Languages spoken before about 400 A.D.

Obviously a lot more languages than what's listed here were also spoken back then. I suspect "written" or "attested" is being meant? --Tropylium 13:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
