Is it true that Aramaic is the oldest language in world?

No, Aramaic is not the oldest language in the world.

It's impossible to definitively say which language is the oldest because language evolution is complex and much of early linguistic history is lost to time. However, some of the oldest languages known to us include:

* Sumerian: This language, spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), dates back to at least 3500 BCE.

* Elamite: Another ancient language spoken in the region of ancient Elam (modern-day Iran), it is estimated to have originated around 3000 BCE.

* Egyptian: The ancient Egyptian language is documented from around 3000 BCE, and its earlier forms are even older.

While Aramaic is a very ancient language, it's believed to have emerged around the 10th century BCE. This makes it younger than the languages listed above.

Therefore, it is not accurate to say Aramaic is the oldest language in the world.
