You are very wrong my friend. Look up the history of languages and you will see that there were other languages before that.
Phoenician greek latin...
Most languages derive from these ones. And don't try to convince us that phoenician greek and latin come from arabic cause that's a bunch of bull.

If we go by the origin then every language has been taken from its uniqueness to define and express ones idea starting way back from the stone ages. People remained scattered all over the places where they find it convenient and worth. So there were regions where language flourished on their own. Of course they became refined with mobility and migration but that never affected their origin. Hence there were no single Mother language which made it all. Sanskrit was not older it was unique at that part of the world and it was never for the common people who seldom knew the language. The Vedic era or before that was not dominated by Sanskrit as that was really meant for the scholars. Everybody was not Kalidas and only even a few were acquainted with it. The same case was with the other part where phonetics defined origin starting from the Greek and the Aryans. The Arabic language was no exception and was unique to a large part of the region. Yes they were the stallions of their own regime, which was huge, but there were also a few others who were also unique of their own. Anyway you made your point and its a good one.

As someone said, Sanskrit is older than Arabic language. Others said there are even older languages, but I think your point is to the "living" languages and you probably mean that Arabic language is the "most original" and "unique".
Unfortunately, there are other languages to which these adjectives apply more than Arabic, such as Basque, for example. Basque is quite a unique language, something called in lingüistics a language isolate.
Japanese language also comes from such a small linguistic family that it's considered a language isolate by some people.
But if you're talking about the beauty of the language, I'm sorry, but I must disagree, because in my opinion, Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world... ;-)

Hi
Arabic is closely related to Hebrew and many will argue that Hebrew was the first language. If you are a believer in God and believe that the first man and woman were Adam and Eve, you can find evidence that Adam used Hebrew to describe himself and Eve.
There is another group on this earth (as I am sure there are a few others) that believe it is evident that they have the oldest language on earth. Please follow the sources below to read about the Hebrew argument and the kyrgyz argument.
However, we can all agree that language more than likely derived in the Middle Eastern region and if you hold to biblical standards, may be your language of choice, but if you are scientific bound, then you will have to continue to ponder the evidence from kyrgyzstan or possibly even Akkadian that relates to Arabic and Hebrew, and spoken thousands of years ago in the land now known as Iraq. Another Akkadian word in English is ziggurat (1877), the name for a style of step pyramid used by the Babylonians as a temple. Again this points the finger to the region.
So if you are scientific, you will continue to search for evidence and answers to the original language, but if you are biblical, you may very well accept that hebrew was first or derived from the words spoken from the mouths of Adam and Eve.

NOPE! You are wrong... For European languages it is Sanskrit (from India). Read on the origin and evolution of languages (not in the Bible). The mixture throughout time has been so big that there is no 100% pure language. One example are the Indo-European languages to which English belongs.
Arabic languages belong to a different group, nothing to do with western European languages.

Not really. According to Wikipedia one of the first languages was Hebrew, another Aramaic. And one of the most religious Tibetan. And that was even before Latin.
By the way, ancient egiptian was before Arabian.

i am sure of that it is 100% pure
but to be the source of all other language i am not with you in this point , because ALLAH in Qurann told us that people differs in their languages " 2a3gamii w arabi "
and those who says that Hebrew is the oldest , stop talking advantage of people ignorance in some Fields to stole the history , it won't make you any good
by the way Arabic is the language of people in Jannah "paradise ISA as ALLAH told us in his Holy Quraan.
sorry to make my point through the point of religious but it is the oldest & the true book that ALLAH saved without any changes , so i make my proofs from it.

Well, you've failed at making your point clear. Linguistics doesn't support any possible meaning I can infer from your statement. So I'd have to say that you're not right.
