Study of Video Games Shows What People Do If The World Ends

Which of the earliest languages is still used today?
Since spoken words don't physically impact the world, tracing the beginnings of human language can be challenging. Additionally, language is always evolving, with words and their connotations changing with each new generation. Therefore, identifying one language as the oldest in the world would be misleading.

The Best Time To Be Alive In History Is Up For Debate.
Okay, I admit that the recent years haven't been great.
