If you are including the spoken lines interpreted in silent films, I can't venture a guess. If you're referring to the first words heard in the film "the Jazz Singer" then I could probably take a stab at it. Wroot, tell me when you find out. Could the first spoken line in a film possibly be the Jewish liturgical service known as "Kol Nidre"? (If so, then the first spoken or sung words on film are in Aramaic.)

According to the script, which I have in another window here, I was wrong. The first spoken line, spoken by Jackie in "The Jazz singer" is: "I couldn't help it -- I didn't mean to hit it so hard -- honest I didn't." The words are spoken to the charachter's father, the Rabbi, who is angered. A little earlier in the film, the sound is heard from the synagogue, where Cantor Rabinowitz teaches several children "the songs and chants of the orthodox -- the prayers set to music that has been handed down for generations." I'll leave it up to you to decide which exactly counts as the first spoken or sung word heard in a movie.

Those were Al Jolson's first words on film. And they occur later. The first spoken line, if you read the script, was right in the first scene, by whatever child played the young Jack.
