well the oldest languages are as old as man himself, but these are dead languages - they weren't written down, and no one now speaks or understands them.
but it depends what you base "oldest" on. if it is what language was written down first, it would probably by egyptian or sumerian.
but the first humans (africans found about 100,000 years ago) had modern vocal cords so they would have had spoken language.
