Question

Answer 1

IT IS SANSKRIT

Answer 2

Sanskrit

Answer 3

While Latin was first introduced to the Italian peninsula around the 9th or 8th century BC via northern migrants, Sanskrit dates back at least 1500BC. This is in reference to the spoken languages. The scripted forms are slightly less ancient, with both having existing examples dating around 700BC and 500BC, respectively.

Although each are ancient, neither is the oldest.

Sumerian, a Cuneiform logophonetic script from Mesopotamia, and Elamite, another logophonetic script from the same area, are known to have existed as far back as 3300BC.
