The oldest literary work in the world was Rigveda. It was composed in Sanskrit. There is a lot debate about the origins of Rigveda, but most recent studies suggest that it was composed some where in North West India, by people who called themselves as Aryans. The previous scholarship about Aryans from central Asia brought Vedas, Hinduism and Sanskrit to India is a trash.

The Sanskrit language (संस्कृतं saṃskṛtam, संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk) is a classical language of India, a liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and one of the 22 official languages of India.

Indo-European.
It isn't really the oldest language in the world because 1 there were languages before that and 2 it is technically dead (which means not used as a daily language by a culture, but scholars can still speak it) so it isn't really "in the world."

It is it is not the oldest in the world. Sumerian is the oldest written text that we have. It is my understanding that Sanskrit was introduced by the Aryans.

It is the oldest WRITTEN RECORDED language in the world. The language it descended from is unwritten & unrecorded, so we will never know, but we can call it PROTO-SANSKRIT, which was descended from the gibberish uttered by our primate ancestors who first walked upright.
