Hello stagers,
Here is the answer to the oldest written language.
For those of you who said Cuneiform, also known as Sumerian. Give yourself a pat on the back.
If you said Mesopotamia you are also correct.
Cuneiform was first used in Southern Mesopotamia, currently Iraq in approximately 4100 B.C.
And I thought I felt old.
