The world's most ancient language is currently being deciphered to help unravel a mystery.
The most ancient written language system in the world that has not yet been deciphered is getting a closer look.
Academic Scholars at Oxford University in England are studying the remnants of a writing system known as proto-Elamite that is over 5 thousand years old.
The language originates from the region in the Middle East that now lies in the territory of southwestern Iran.
Using a device called the Reflectance Transformation Imaging System for Ancient Documentary Artifacts, the researchers are intricately lighting and taking detailed pictures of the stone tablets in an effort to view markings not seen before, and uncover their hidden meaning.
The hi-tech images of the tablets will be available online for other academic linguistic scholars to see, and posit theories about their possible meanings.
Doctor Jacob Dahl of Oxford University has been fascinated with the carvings for a decade, and is looking forward to a breakthrough.
He has discovered that there are no human representations used in the written language, and that this may be the first language to use syllable structure to build words, rather than having a symbol for each word.

Here are short examples of the world's five languages with the earliest known written accounts.
I've excluded Eblaite (which is as old as Akkadian) because I find it nearly impossible to read. And it is very similar to Akkadian anyway (could be considered an Akkadian dialect).
Little is known about Elamite and Hurrian phonology because of the limited possibilities of the cuneiform script. Thus I have randomly filled the pronunciation of these two languages with what I think might fit. So these are more like artificial impressions rather than scientifically accurate representations.
=============
TRANSLATIONS:
Egyptian:
Judge, arise! Thoth, be high! Sleepers, awake! The inhabitants of Nubia arise before the Great Trembler who comes out of the nome, Upuaut who comes out of the bush!
Pure is the mouth of Teti! The two Enneads cense Teti. Pure indeed is the tongue which is in his mouth! Excrement is an abomination of Teti. Teti rejects urine, Teti loathes his abomination.
The abomination of Teti is this: he does not eat this abomination, and like Seth rejects the poison(?) of these two who cross the sky, these are Horus and Thoth. Take Teti with you...
Sumerian:
One-time member of the school, come here to me, and let me explain to you what my teacher revealed.
Like you, I was once a youth and had a mentor. The teacher assigned a task to me -- it was man's work. Like a springing reed, I leapt up and put myself to work. I did not depart from my teacher's instructions, and I did not start doing things on my own initiative. My mentor was delighted with my work on the assignment. He rejoiced that I was humble before him and he spoke in my favour.
I just did whatever he outlined for me -- everything was always in its place. Only a fool would have deviated from his instructions. He guided my hand on the clay and kept me on the right path. He made me eloquent with words and gave me advice. He focused my eyes on the rules which guide a man with a task: zeal is proper for a task, time-wasting is taboo; anyone who wastes time on his task is neglecting his task.
He did not vaunt his knowledge: his words were modest. If he had vaunted his knowledge, people would have frowned. Do not waste time, do not rest at night -- get on with that work! Do not reject the pleasurable company of a mentor or his assistant: once you have come into contact with such great brains, you will make your own words more worthy.
Akkadian:
When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land, assigned to Marduk, the over-ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.
Hammurabi, the prince, called of Bel am I, making riches and increase, enriching Nippur and Dur-ilu beyond compare, sublime patron of E-kur; who reestablished Eridu...
Elamite:
I am Shuturnahunte son of Hubannumena king of Anzan and Susa, the largest kingdom; a temple built with glazed bricks and decorated with horns of alabaster and to Pinigir, the Mistress the sky, my goddess, i dedicated it; whoever removes the door of Pinigir and enters, punishment of Pinigir shall fall on him.
Hurrian:
How my brother loves me and how I love my brother, so may Teshub, Shavushka, Amanu, Shimige and Ea-Sharri – the Gods – love uns very much in their hearts. So that we may rejoice very much for many years. What we wish for each other in the best way, one may do to another in a very beautiful way.

Elam was an ancient civilization located in what is now southwest Iran. Elam was centered in the far west and the southwest of modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of Khuzestan and Ilam Province, as well as a small part of southern Iraq. The modern name Elam is a transcription from Biblical Hebrew, corresponding to the Sumerian elam(a), the Akkadian elamtu, and the Elamite haltamti. Elamite states were among the leading political forces of the ancient near east.
Situated just to the east of Mesopotamia, Elam was part of the early urbanization during the Chalcolithic period (Copper Age). The emergence of written records from around 3000 BC also parallels Mesopotamian history where writing was used slightly earlier. In the Old Elamite period (Middle Bronze Age), Elam consisted of kingdoms on the Iranian plateau, centered in Anshan, and from the mid-2nd millennium BC, it was centered in Susa in the Khuzestan lowlands.Its culture played a crucial role in the Gutian Empire, especially during the Achaemenid dynasty that succeeded it, when the Elamite language remained among those in official use. Elamite is generally treated as an isolate language.

Five extinct languages spoken, including Ubykh, Old English, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Indo-European, and Proto-Nostratic.
Some more information on the languages (from Wikipedia):
Ubykh, tʷaxəbza in the Ubykh language, is an extinct Northwest Caucasian language that died with its last native speaker, Tevfik Esenç, in 1992. It has the largest consonant inventory among attested non-click languages, with 84 phonemic consonants (but only two phonemic vowels).
Old English, Ænglisc in Old English, is the direct ancestor of the modern English language, although very different due to its lack of Romance influence from the Normans, and because of this is much closer to Icelandic or German. It was spoken from the mid fifth to mid twelfth centuries.
Proto-Germanic is the unattested common ancestor of all the Germanic languages and is a descendant language of Proto-Indo-European, likely spoken in present-day Denmark, and southern Scandinavia about three thousand years ago.. However, certain inscriptions found may be of the early Proto-Norse or late Proto-Germanic periods.
Proto-Indo-European is the unattested, yet highly supported common ancestor of all Indo-European languages, including Hellenic (including Greek), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and the Indo-Iranian languages. There are about 439 Indo-European languages, with almost three billion native speakers, by far the most of any widely recognized language family. The most accepted hypothesis places it spoken in the Pontic steppe, about six thousand years ago, although estimates vary greatly.
Proto-Nostratic is a controversial common ancestor of Afro-Asiatic, Kartvelian, Dravidian, Eurasiatic (including Uralic, Indo-European, and Altaic), sometimes including Elamite, Sumerian, Nivkh, Yukaghir, Chukotko-Chamkatkan, and Eskimo-Aleut languages. It is believed to be spoken in the Fertile Crescent around 12,000 years ago.

Recorded on an iPhone 4s, audio edited in Logic Pro 9, pictures made in Gimp, video made in iMovie.
**DISCLAIMER**
All of these languages are extinct. As such, all pronunciations are completely approximate, especially that of PIE and Proto-Nostratic. I'm not very good at the voiced aspirated (breathy-voiced) PIE stops either, and am unsure about stress patterns, and Old English vowel reduction.
Also, I am not perfect. I made quite a few mistakes - see if you can spot them! Hopefully my American English accent didn't get in the way to much.
Anyways, thanks for watching! Maybe in the future I'll do another... I'd like to do Latin, Ancient Greek, maybe Old Chinese. I'd need some good texts with IPA pronunciations though. If you want, suggest a language in the comments!
I can't imagine how anyone could speak fluent Ubykh. They must have very tough uvulas... (Luckily the Ubykh text didn't use qˁʼ)

Elamite language
Elamite is an extinct language spoken by the ancient Elamites. Elamite was the primary language in present-day Iran from 2800 to 550 BC. The last written records in Elamite appear about the time of the conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great. Elamite has no demonstrable relatives and is usually considered a language isolate. The lack of established relatives is one reason that interpretation of the language is difficult.
Writing system
Elamite cuneiform, adapted from Akkadian cuneiform, was used from ca. 2500 to 331 BC. Elamite cuneiform was largely a syllabary of some 130 glyphs at any one time and retained only a few logograms from Akkadian, but over time, the number of logograms increased.
Two earlier scripts of the area remain undeciphered but plausibly have encoded Elamite:

The modern name Elam is a transcription from Biblical Hebrew, corresponding to the Sumerian elam(a), the Akkadian elamtu, and the Elamite haltamti. Elamite states were among the leading political forces of the Ancient Near East. In classical literature, Elam was more often referred to as Susiana a name derived from its capital, Susa. However, Susiana is not synonymous with Elam and, in its early history, was a distinctly separate cultural and political entity. Situated just to the east of Mesopotamia, Elam was part of the early urbaniz...

The world's most ancient language is currently being deciphered to help unravel a mystery.
The most ancient written language system in the world that has not yet been deciphered is getting a closer look.
Academic Scholars at Oxford University in England are studying the remnants of a writing system known as proto-Elamite that is over 5 thousand years old.
The language originates from the region in the Middle East that now lies in the territory of southwestern Iran.
Using a device called the Reflectance Transformation Imaging System for Ancient Documentary Artifacts, the researchers are intricately lighting and taking detailed pictures of the stone tablets in an effort to view markings not seen before, and uncover their hidden meaning.
The hi-tech images of the tablets will be available online for other academic linguistic scholars to see, and posit theories about their possible meanings.
Doctor Jacob Dahl of Oxford University has been fascinated with the carvings for a decade, and is looking forward to a breakthrough.
He has discovered that there are no human representations used in the written language, and that this may be the first language to use syllable structure to build words, rather than having a symbol for each word.

Here are short examples of the world's five languages with the earliest known written accounts.
I've excluded Eblaite (which is as old as Akkadian) because I find it nearly impossible to read. And it is very similar to Akkadian anyway (could be considered an Akkadian dialect).
Little is known about Elamite and Hurrian phonology because of the limited possibilities of the cuneiform script. Thus I have randomly filled the pronunciation of these two languages with what I think might fit. So these are more like artificial impressions rather than scientifically accurate representations.

TRANSLATIONS:
Egyptian:
Judge, arise! Thoth, be high! Sleepers, awake! The inhabitants of Nubia arise before the Great Trembler who comes out of the nome, Upuaut who comes out of the bush!
Pure is the mouth of Teti! The two Enneads cense Teti. Pure indeed is the tongue which is in his mouth! Excrement is an abomination of Teti. Teti rejects urine, Teti loathes his abomination.
The abomination of Teti is this: he does not eat this abomination, and like Seth rejects the poison(?) of these two who cross the sky, these are Horus and Thoth. Take Teti with you...
Sumerian:
One-time member of the school, come here to me, and let me explain to you what my teacher revealed.
Like you, I was once a youth and had a mentor. The teacher assigned a task to me -- it was man's work. Like a springing reed, I leapt up and put myself to work. I did not depart from my teacher's instructions, and I did not start doing things on my own initiative. My mentor was delighted with my work on the assignment. He rejoiced that I was humble before him and he spoke in my favour.
I just did whatever he outlined for me -- everything was always in its place. Only a fool would have deviated from his instructions. He guided my hand on the clay and kept me on the right path. He made me eloquent with words and gave me advice. He focused my eyes on the rules which guide a man with a task: zeal is proper for a task, time-wasting is taboo; anyone who wastes time on his task is neglecting his task.
He did not vaunt his knowledge: his words were modest. If he had vaunted his knowledge, people would have frowned. Do not waste time, do not rest at night -- get on with that work! Do not reject the pleasurable company of a mentor or his assistant: once you have come into contact with such great brains, you will make your own words more worthy.
Akkadian:
When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land, assigned to Marduk, the over-ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.
Hammurabi, the prince, called of Bel am I, making riches and increase, enriching Nippur and Dur-ilu beyond compare, sublime patron of E-kur; who reestablished Eridu...
Elamite:
I am Shuturnahunte son of Hubannumena king of Anzan and Susa, the largest kingdom; a temple built with glazed bricks and decorated with horns of alabaster and to Pinigir, the Mistress the sky, my goddess, i dedicated it; whoever removes the door of Pinigir and enters, punishment of Pinigir shall fall on him.
Hurrian:
How my brother loves me and how I love my brother, so may Teshub, Shavushka, Amanu, Shimige and Ea-Sharri – the Gods – love uns very much in their hearts. So that we may rejoice very much for many years. What we wish for each other in the best way, one may do to another in a very beautiful way.

Elam was an ancient civilization located in what is now southwest Iran. Elam was centered in the far west and the southwest of modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of Khuzestan and Ilam Province, as well as a small part of southern Iraq. The modern name Elam is a transcription from Biblical Hebrew, corresponding to the Sumerian elam(a), the Akkadian elamtu, and the Elamite haltamti. Elamite states were among the leading political forces of the ancient near east.
Situated just to the east of Mesopotamia, Elam was part of the early urbanization during the Chalcolithic period (Copper Age). The emergence of written records from around 3000 BC also parallels Mesopotamian history where writing was used slightly earlier. In the Old Elamite period (Middle Bronze Age), Elam consisted of kingdoms on the Iranian plateau, centered in Anshan, and from the mid-2nd millennium BC, it was centered in Susa in the Khuzestan lowlands.Its culture played a crucial role in the Gutian Empire, especially during the Achaemenid dynasty that succeeded it, when the Elamite language remained among those in official use. Elamite is generally treated as an isolate language.

Five extinct languages spoken, including Ubykh, Old English, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Indo-European, and Proto-Nostratic.
Some more information on the languages (from Wikipedia):
Ubykh, tʷaxəbza in the Ubykh language, is an extinct Northwest Caucasian language that died with its last native speaker, Tevfik Esenç, in 1992. It has the largest consonant inventory among attested non-click languages, with 84 phonemic consonants (but only two phonemic vowels).
Old English, Ænglisc in Old English, is the direct ancestor of the modern English language, although very different due to its lack of Romance influence from the Normans, and because of this is much closer to Icelandic or German. It was spoken from the mid fifth to mid twelfth centuries.
Proto-Germanic is the unattested common ancestor of all the Germanic languages and is a descendant language of Proto-Indo-European, likely spoken in present-day Denmark, and southern Scandinavia about three thousand years ago.. However, certain inscriptions found may be of the early Proto-Norse or late Proto-Germanic periods.
Proto-Indo-European is the unattested, yet highly supported common ancestor of all Indo-European languages, including Hellenic (including Greek), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and the Indo-Iranian languages. There are about 439 Indo-European languages, with almost three billion native speakers, by far the most of any widely recognized language family. The most accepted hypothesis places it spoken in the Pontic steppe, about six thousand years ago, although estimates vary greatly.
Proto-Nostratic is a controversial common ancestor of Afro-Asiatic, Kartvelian, Dravidian, Eurasiatic (including Uralic, Indo-European, and Altaic), sometimes including Elamite, Sumerian, Nivkh, Yukaghir, Chukotko-Chamkatkan, and Eskimo-Aleut languages. It is believed to be spoken in the Fertile Crescent around 12,000 years ago.

Information on the phonetics of the languages come from their respective Wikipedia pages.
Stuff used:
Recorded on an iPhone 4s, audio edited in Logic Pro 9, pictures made in Gimp, video made in iMovie.
**DISCLAIMER**
All of these languages are extinct. As such, all pronunciations are completely approximate, especially that of PIE and Proto-Nostratic. I'm not very good at the voiced aspirated (breathy-voiced) PIE stops either, and am unsure about stress patterns, and Old English vowel reduction.
Also, I am not perfect. I made quite a few mistakes - see if you can spot them! Hopefully my American English accent didn't get in the way to much.
Anyways, thanks for watching! Maybe in the future I'll do another... I'd like to do Latin, Ancient Greek, maybe Old Chinese. I'd need some good texts with IPA pronunciations though. If you want, suggest a language in the comments!
I can't imagine how anyone could speak fluent Ubykh. They must have very tough uvulas... (Luckily the Ubykh text didn't use qˁʼ)

China Eyes
[Chorus]
I came to you my china eyes
You look at me
I knew that the days are long and cold
Without you by my side
I see your face I melt inside
The thoughts of you
I know that I can't no longer hide
My love for china eyes
Please come with me my china eyes
Let's share our joys in paradise
You're the one that I will love
Till the end of my life
I came to you my china eyes
[Repeat Chorus]
Please love now my china eyes
Just one kiss and I could die
You're the one my heart desires
I love you china eyes
