Hi Laura,
Your question is open to interpretation. What do you mean by language!?
A general answer would be!? Hhhmm language is a means of communication. So the first languages were definitely thoughts that emerged as soon as beings became more conscious about their own existence :)

In today's world, it is always useful to speak different languages. Employers are mostly more willing to hire a candidate who speaks a language other than English.

Hello Laura, this is a difficult question to answer. It depends on what you mean, as there are languages spoken by more people in the world than English. However, when it comes to learning a language, the language used in IT systems and business, the language is English.

The exact “first” language remains a mystery due to the lack of written records from prehistoric times. However, some of the oldest known languages are Sumerian, spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), dating back to around 3100 BCE, and Egyptian, datesd around 3000 BCE.

The exact first language spoken by humans is unknown. However, some theories suggest that all languages may have descended from a single "proto-language" spoken tens of thousands of years ago. We have no direct evidence of this, but researchers use comparative linguistics, archaeology, genetics, and the study of early human anatomy to make educated guesses about how and when language might have evolved.
