First Language Ever Spoken on This Earth

Exactly. It’s absurd to think that any language was the first language, especially since the form of Arabic spokes 1600 years ago would sound like another language to modern Arabic speakers. Are they considered different languages then?

There are isolated villages in India where the inhabitants still pass on chants to their children, and scientists believe that it’s a preserved form of one of the earliest human languages (their DNA is incredibly similar to that of the first humans who migrated out of Africa). Even modern day Sanskrit was heavily influenced by the Aryan invasion (not Hitler’s version of Aryans, but invaders from Central Asia who spread into Europe, the Middle East, and India), and thus, cannot be considered the first language. Evidence of the Aryan influence on language can be seen in the similarity of the word “mother”, which sound surprisingly similar in Hindi, Arabic, as well as Latin and the Romantic languages (English, Spanish, Italian etc) that it inspired.

The information is from The Story of India, a PBS documentary. Here’s the excerpt from episode one:

"The first human migrations out of Africa are thought to have taken place 70,000 years ago. Migrants gradually made their way down India’s coast over a few thousand years. The migration was possible because sea levels were 200 feet lower then they are now, allowing travel via long-since submerged land bridges. The migrants’ descendants have been identified by DNA markers as far north as the Pakistani coast and as far south as the Kallar tribe on the Kerala coast in modern India, where entire villages share ancient DNA strains. Along India’s west coast there remain pockets of tribal peoples who may have descended from these first human migrations. Until the modern age they have remained largely self-contained, endogamous (marrying within the tribe), physically distinctive in appearance and outside the Hindu caste system. Many retain their own languages, which are distinct from the main Northern and Southern Indian language groups."

I don’t want to hear it. Sanskrit, the language of the Devas, is the first language. The proof, beyond all reasonable doubt, is in this post.
