Which is the oldest word in English?

June 7, 2014 By Christina Varveri Leave a Comment

It is said that some of the oldest words in English date back more than 20,000 years and the personal pronouns “I” or “we” may have been used by our ancestors in the Stone Age.

The oldest words in English according to the Daily Mail, are: I, who, we, thou, two, three, five. The word “who” is the oldest of all!

In addition, the words that are likely to disappear are: Dirty, squeeze, bad, guts, because, push (verb), smell (verb), stab, stick (noun), turn (verb), wipe
