Is Aramaic the Oldest Recorded Language Still Spoken Today?
Aramaic is spoken as a first language by 500,000 people, mainly the Assyrian dialect, but also Syriac, Western Aramaic and Mandean. It was first recorded in writing sometime between 1500bc and 1200bc. I speak a bit myself, but anyone have any further ideas, confirming or denying? Has to be a living language, and also not one that died and has then been revived.
