Definately Sanskrit is the oldest known language to have a complete set of syllables to pronounce every sound and a sound grammatical base. sanskrit is in fact one of teh languages which can be used with or without punctuation marks (to me that is a great level of evolvement for a language). Also depending on the intonation of words and the speed with which they are said and where the stress is laid while pronouncing a word, sanskrit is the only language that gives different interpretations to the same word thus making it the most versatile language known so far.

Both Latin and Sanskrit are related languages, part of the same linguistic family : the Indo-european language family. This means that both languages evolved from a common language, which linguists refer as PIE(proto-indo-european)language. This is why both languages share many similar grammatical structures and words. The best example is the word mather : mater(L) = matir (skr). But to answer your question, Sanskrit as a literary language existed much earlier than Latin, around 1200 BC ( this form of Sanskrit is referred as Vedic Sanskrit, to distinguish it from Classical Sanskrit), while Latin was standardized around 1st century BC ( the Classical Latin). Sanskrit is thus the oldest literary indo-european language, and the mother of all Indian present day languages ( As Hindu and Urdu). As a language is very similar to Avestan ( the language from which derived the Iranian languages). Although Latin is the mother of all Romance languages (like French, Italian, Spanish), its much younger than Sanskrit, and it was only one of many other indo-european languages spoken in Italy ( like Oscan language). Sanskrit is thus more archaic and perhaps closer to PIE than Latin, but both languages evolved independently from PIE

Many words in Latin are derived from Sanskrit in the same way that many words in English are derived from Latin.

Aryan is in commencing place the comparable be conscious as Iran which the Shah of Persia accompanied after a visit to Hitler, who used "Aryan" (incorrectly) as a synonym of Indo-Germanisch (German for Indo-ecu). i began out my very very own study of historic linguistics from a e book i present in a 2nd-hand shop. This contrasted the common vowel gadget of Sanskrit with that of different Indo-ecu languages and claimed this confirmed the "purity" of Sanskrit: the vowels of all the others being distortions of their primitive style. regrettably my e book have been revealed in 1870. Years later the invention of Hittite (spoken in Asia Minor) proved the alternative: that the unique elementary Indo-ecu ancestor language had had a incredibly complicated vowel gadget and that its simplification in Sanskrit became the main obvious results of ways that language have been inspired by the phonetic behavior of the early Indians who had spoken Dravidian languages in the previous adopting the Sanskrit of the Aryan invaders. aside from that besides the indisputable fact that, Sanskrit, Hittite, and the primitive Greek spoken on Bronze-Age Crete are the earliest documented Indo-ecu languages and our chief source to wisdom what the unique previous due Stone Age elementary Indo-ecu could desire to have been like. while in comparison with those languages of the 0.33 millenium BC, Latin isn't documented in the previous c.4 hundred BC, Gothic (the earliest prevalent Germanic language) in the previous 3 hundred advert, English no longer in the previous six hundred advert, and previous (liturgical) Bulgarian (the earliest documented Slav language) no longer in the previous seven-hundred advert. yet merely as an occasion of ways promptly all of them replaced, even primitive Greek had already grew to become each and every preliminary S into an H. on the different hand Hittite watar is closer to its English and Dutch cognate water than to the Classical Greek hydros.
