Telugu is a Dravidian language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is estimated to be around 2,000 years old, with its origins tracing back to the ancient Dravidian languages of the Deccan Plateau.
French is a Romance language spoken primarily in France. Its origins can be traced back to Vulgar Latin, a dialect of Latin spoken in the Roman Empire. The development of French from Vulgar Latin began around the 5th century AD.
Therefore, Telugu is significantly older than French.
