I have to agree with those people, it is hard to nail down a oldest
language because the question itself is too general.  What do you
define as language to start with.

At what point do you stop calling it simple communication, and call it a
language?  And the second difficulty is that many of the oldest
(including the oldest) languages were very likely to be spoken only, so
as soon as their speakers/culture vanished, the language vanished too.
Or they were simply assimliated into another language, a newer
language.

So if you narrow the scope of your question to something more specific,
more tangible, like the oldest written language, or earliest known
language, you may have better answers.

what turned up on world's oldest language, but probably not the answer

No- COBOL was introduced in 1959 at that time Fortran had released its 3rd
version(FORTRAN III). Between FORTRAN and COBOL there was BO, FLO-MATIC,
IAL, ALGOL introduced. COBOL was released at the same time JAVIAL was
released.
