Question: who created the first ever word in exsistence??????????????????

I’d have thought it would have been a caveman, yes!

But more than that, I don’t think anyone can say. (Sorry – that’s boring!) It’s true there are some languages that are much older than others, and lots of languages that no-one speaks any more (like Latin, Ancient Greek, Egyptian, and one the same age from India called Sanskrit). But we still know what those languages looked like because we have writing from that time, like in inscriptions on stone, writing on papyrus (an old kind of paper), and things on the pyramids for Egyptian.

The first word, though, was way older than any of that – so old that it wouldn’t have been written down, because the people that spoke that first language didn’t have a writing-system – so we can’t really work out what it was, at the moment!
