What language was spoken in ANCIENT china

Old Chinese was spoken by the Hua people. It is hotly debated what the important Dongyi people on the east coast spoke, perhaps a northern branch of Hmong. The red-haired, green-eyed Rong people in the west spoke a mixture of Turkic and Indo-European Tocharian. In the Yangtze Valley and South China, Old Tai, Old Viet, and Old Malayic languages were spoken, as well as Hmong-Mien dialects. Tibetan was in the west, Tungusic in the northeast, Old Turanian in the north.
