There is no official first language of the world. Records only really began in the last millennium, and even then civilization only saw true preservation and upkeep in the 1900s up to modern day. The most probable first language of the world was Sumerian; the ancient language of the Sumer, but this is just a guess based on archaeological discovery. Other tribes, races, civilizations could, and probably did, have languages by this point, but there's been no discovery of anything to prove this theory. The probability is that fossilised traces and records of other languages have either been lost through erosion or construction and development, or perhaps just not yet discovered.
The Sumer lived in Mesopotamia, which is now modern day Iraq. Their language is recorded as early as 3,000 years BC. Akkadian was another language used in the following 500 years and eventually came to replace Sumerian, leaving that as the sacred language. Around this time Egyptian also came through, so it's plausible that while these civilizations were the most advanced, they were not alone in their language abilities and their writing or symbolism skills.
Incorrectly, people think Phrygian was the first language of the world. This only began around 800BC, so was shy of Sumerian and Akkadian by more than two millennia.
