Is welsh one of the oldest languages in Europe?

No. Greek is the oldest practiced language in Western Europe. Some people forget that Greece is considered a part of Western Europe. This is due to the history of Greece, which made Greece heavily tied to the true geographical definition of Western Europe. The Greek language has been around since about 1400 BCE. Disregarding Greece, Latin would be the oldest "surviving" language of Western Europe. Latin is still official in one country, Vatican City, and many people across the world still learn Latin. In addition, Latin is still used in naming items (from animals to elements). The Latin language was established around 500 BCE. If you don't count Latin, because truly Latin is a dead language, then yes, Welsh is the oldest practiced language in Western Europe, surviving from around 700 CE.

The Roman language was Latin. Of course the everyday language of Rome was based on the language of the Romans. Latin heavily influenced the Languages if Italy, Gaul (France), Hispania (Spain) Lusitania (Portugal) and Dacia (Romania). So much so that the modern languages of these countries are derived from Latin. Latin probably influenced the languages of other areas of the Roman Empire, but these were replaced by languages of the the conquests and large scale immigrations of Germanic peoples, Slavs and Arabs into areas of the Roman Empire. Latin was also the language of administration throughout the empire. Latin influenced the everyday life of Greece only in so far as it was the language of administration. It did not influence the Greek language. The Romans elites received an education in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek.
