Extract from an article by Lani Seelinger
on The Culture Trip Site:
Language evolution is like biological evolution – it happens minutely, generation by generation, so there’s no distinct breaking point between one language and the next language that develops from it. Therefore, it’s impossible to say that one language is really older than any other one; they’re all as old as humanity itself. That said, each of the languages below has a little something special—something ancient—to differentiate it from the masses.

Looks like there is some debate about this, judging by the comments. For the record, I speak Lithuanian (not terribly well).
