That depends on which country you are in and what specific time period, since languages changed considerably during the very long medieval period.

In England, Old English was spoken up to the mid-12th century by ordinary (non-noble) people, then Middle English began to evolve. Wealthy aristocrats spoke Anglo-Norman French (not the same thing as French). In Germany people spoke Middle High German, in Flanders they spoke Flemish, in Italy many Italian dialects were used, in Spain people spoke Old Spanish. There were many other medieval languages across Europe.

Who were the info-europians?

I think you mean the indo-Europeans. The term 'Indo-European' refers in most cases to a group of languages with common linguistical roots, not so much to people. There are some 450 languages today with Indo-European roots, European languages like English, Spanish, German and Russian just being four of them. Almost half the people on this planet speak an Indo-European language. The "Indo"-part of the name is caused by the fact that several eastern languages, notably Indian and Iranian dialects and languages, have the same roots as most European languages.


What effects did the missions have on native Americans?

The missions didn't help the Native Americans. Many were killed by the priests and put into mass graves ( the graves are still there), they were not allowed to practice their cultural rites or to speak native languages, and they were required to work at the mission. I think even worse than the mission system was the government Native American schools. Children were taken from their parents and tribe to live at the schools. They were not allowed to speak native languages or learn the traditional things about their tribe.
