ProfessorCuniform is the oldest existing example of a written langage we have; it was invented by the Sumarians.
Proto-Indo-European is the oldest known language, and this is not the name of it, just a label applied to it so it can be discussed; however, there are no examples of this language still in existence. A partial lexicon of the language has been extrapolated and reconstructed by linguists and anthropologist by the examination of other very old languages that share this common root.

Was Latin spoken in Europe?
Yes. It was the language of the educated classes from around 0 to 1700AD. A lot of books were written in Latin and it was the language of the church. This meant that, even if you spoke another language at home, you would learn Latin if you wanted to read or study. It also became the native language in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal and Romania and is the ancestor of modern-day Italian, Spanish, etc.
