Latin.

French derives from common latin language brought by the roman conquest in 52 BC.
Britain has speakers of many Latin languages, including Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese. But none of these languages are widely spoken in Great Britain. French is perhaps the most widely taught foreign language in Great Britain.
The English language evolved from the Germanic dialects spoken by tribes in what is now modern-day England. It was heavily influenced by Latin and French due to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Over time, English developed into its own distinct language with a rich vocabulary and complex grammar rules.
When Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 BCE English did not exist. The Celts spoke languages such as Welsh, Gaelic and Breton. West Germanic tribes such as the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, came across the North Sea and settled in Britain they brought with them their languages. Another influence on the development of English was the arrival of Christianity. The Anglo - Saxon language was enriched with Greek and Latin words. Then the Vikings came from Scandinavia to plunder and conquest they brought with them their vocabulary too. When the Normans, from Normandy, came to Britain they brought French to Britain. But French did not displace English and over 3 centuries English gradually gained dominance but had about 10,000 borrowed French words. With the development of printing came a communications revolution and thousand of Greek and Latin words came into the English vocabulary
The Olmec of southern Mexico built Latin Americas first civilization.
Old English and Anglo-Saxon was often written with a version of the Runic alphabet, which brought to Britain by the Anglo-Saxons until about the time of William the Conqueror in the 11th century, who brought the Latin alphabet and the French language to England. When the French language combined with Anglo-Saxon in England, Middle English developed, which used a version of the Latin alphabet. This would eventually give way to what we speak today, known as Modern English, which developed circa 1470.
Yes, French is considered a Romance language, which evolved from Latin. Many French words have Latin roots, and the grammar and structure of French are also heavily influenced by Latin.
It was Williams' fluency in Latin, French, and Dutch, as well as his ability to take dictation in shorthand, that brought him to the attention of Sir Edward Coke.
Like many other languages across the globe, the French language has evolved over time. The old language for French was therefore old French. However, if what you are asking is the root of the language, then the answer is Latin. France once having been part of the Roman empire, Latin, language of the Romans, was brought to the country.
