Language History
Early humans likely used gestures and sounds to communicate as a Prehistoric Communication. Spoken language is believed to have developed around 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. These are hypothetical, reconstructed languages that are the ancestors of modern languages. Proto-Indo-European is one of the most studied proto-languages. As ancient languages, Sumerians and Egyptians used some of the earliest written languages, dating back to around 3000 BCE. Sumerian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs are among the first writing systems. Classical Languages Greek and Latin played significant roles in developing Western languages. Sanskrit was crucial in South Asia. As Ancient Languages, Sumerian and Egyptian are some of the earliest written languages, dating back to around 3000 BCE.
