Yes thats correct. Most of the Indian languages are derived form Sanskrit. However the current pronounciation and meaning of those words in Sanskrit have been lost as there was nothing written document. Most of the pronounciation and sounds asscoaited with them have undergone chnage with passage of time.
Sanskrit may not be mother for all civilizations but yes definitely for a particualr civilization. As such we do not have any claims or written document to prove this, but study of four vedas throws more light on this.

Nope it is Tamil
Firstly Tamil is the oldest Indian language and one of the 4 oldest language in the world, and definitly older and much native and richer than Sanskrit, the mother of all the indo-aryan languages like Hindi and Punjabi.

No one is quite sure which language is the oldest, but Egyptian, Ogham, Avestan Ge'ez and Coptic are much older. Sanskrit, while a dead language, is not nearly as old as the others. Sanskrit is the mother of the Indo-arian languages, which gave birth to old english and many other languages; it is not the oldest.
As to India being the Mother of All Civilizations, it depends on which history and religions you listen to. In all actuallity; South America, Indo-Asia and Afrika all have great claims to being the mother of modern civilization. I personally lean towards Afrika and the Mediteranian area as the Cradle of civilization. This is where you will find the Library of Alexandria and the Garden Terraces of ancient Babelon. In addition to that, many religions have placed the creation of humanity in these areas, and more developed, extinct, civilizations are unearthed in this area more than any other area on the planet. Sorry though, India is not the mother of all Civilizations.

Language is surely a factor in keeping a nation together. But not a necessity. India is the best example for that. So language is only one of the factors!!!!!

no ways
,the city of Mu and Ur are far older and they are in Iraq,and also in Iraq has been found an Ancient Island now in a dried up inland sea ,with hundreds of grave mounds that contain skeletons of Giants,whose bones indicated very longevity,the legend is that this was the site of the garden of Eden,and signs of irrigation infrastructure are still visible.
the Nephilim were giants ,and they were the sons of the Gods ,the Gods were the Anunaki ,who created man as a slave race to mine gold ,and the oldest goldmines are Zimbabwe,so it looks as if Africa is the first cradle of Homo sapian.,
also the great pyramid of Giza is older than all other man made structures ,so north Africa as well has evidence of age greater than anything in India.
but the Anunaki were everywhere ,they are mentioned in Babylon.Egypt ,Central America and Europe as well as India ,and India has legends of Anunaki (priests ?)having aerial battles using energy beams,
all civilizations that mention Anunaki (meaning those that decended from the heavens)in their origin have dragons or serpents to represent them ,since they were an Alien reptilian race,and the oldest brain in our heads ,called the reptilian brain ,may be a souvenir of their genetic engineering
and Atlantis beats them all,,However it is doubtful that the people were Homo sapian.this site may be under the Arctic Ice.the Piri Reis maps that Marco polo had show Antarctica with out ice ,meaning that the map was made before the last ice age,and it shows a large continent shaped like a dougnut,with a large sweet water inland sea.
this is exactly the description of Atlantis in the legends and pieces of fosilized tropical plants have been found ,indicating that it was very warm there at one time.
in the Amazon basin have been found artificial mounds ,with shards of pottery with a curve suggesting that they were more than two metres in diameter,hundreds of these mounds have been found ,also an artificial fertile soil a metre thick( over an area of hundreds of kilometres),made from burning plants(a sophisticated knowledge of agriculture) ,many thousands of people ate and farmed there .
the question is why???
,the site is the location of the legendary el Dorado and was dated 300.000 years old
so India is old ,there is no doubt about that ,they mention Anunaki ,but they were not the first by a long way

There were civilizations that did not have written languages. I feel it will be hard to determine the oldest civilization with so many that didn't develop written language. No they are not the mother of all civilizations. The South and North America's were populated thousands if not millions of years before the indian civilization evolved into the "mother of all civilizations".
