they taught them their countries alphabet.
Both Etruscan and Latin alphabets were borrowed from the Greek alphabet with adaptations to suit the sound of their languages. Early Latin alphabets used some letters which were used by the Etruscans. Later, these letters were dropped and the Latin alphabet became a fully Latin adaptation of the Greek alphabet.
At about 600 BC, a group of people called the Etruscans took power in Rome. At about 509 BC, the Romans revolted and drove the Etruscans out of power in Rome, but did adopt some of their ideas, such as the Greek Alphabet, which the Etruscans adopted from the Greeks.
If by writing you mean the alphabet, they were similar when the Greeks used their western alphabet (there was also an eastern one). The Latins, like the Etruscans and all other peoples of ancient Italy adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet which was brought to Italy by Greeks who settled in southern Italy.

The Latin alphabet evolved from the Etruscan alphabet, which was used by the ancient Etruscan civilization in what is now modern-day Italy. The Etruscans, in turn, borrowed the alphabet from the Greek alphabet, which had been developed by the ancient Greeks. The Latin alphabet was later adapted and expanded by the Romans and became the basis for many modern alphabets, including English.

Evidence suggests that they got it from the Etruscans, a small civilization whose territory extended from northern Italy down past Rome, where their kings once ruled, probably around the 7th century BC.The last Etruscan king to rule in Rome was ousted when the Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC, although the Etruscan culture and art tended to influence Rome up to the 4rd century BC.And the Etruscans got their alphabet from the Greeks, of course, since EVERYONE in that area borrowed from the Greeks (since, like Alexander the Great).

They copied the Etruscans who lived mostly north of Rome. The origins of their civilization are unknown. The Romans adapted the alphabet architecture engineering and believed in some of their gods.
We do not know the specifics, but since we know that Latin is an Indo-European language, it came about from the Indo-European settlers in the central Italic peninsula and the Latins adopted the alphabet from the nearby Etruscans.
