I am sure that no one would know the first primordial language of the human race.
But there is a good chart in the American Heritage Dictionary that
shows the groups and language families.

We should be asking our cells in our body, how they could transmit messages. For a language, nothing is elementary or refined, as long as messages are driven home to the people intended. It is the embellishments that bring competition. Whether we eat caviar or a curry of egg plant both taste alike (I heard) are just foods for our digestive system as the same are mercilessly broken into pieces and sorted out into carbs, amino acids, vitamins, glucose, wastes etc.
For academic purposes the initial language is gibbonish, spoken by gibbons I suppose (not necessarily our gibberish)

Could it be that the initial language was 'telepathic'...did not use voice as we know it...?
You know the story of God and Adam and Eve...

Some people believe Sanskrit is the oldest language - it is certainly one of the most ancient.

This is impossible to answer. This had been already debated here also.
Hebrew could be one contender.
Sanskrit is another, which is the root to more than 4000 languages.
