I only know of one city called Troy and that was the Troy of the Iliad. The Romans never invaded that Troy, in fact they didn't even exist as a people at the time. The founder of Rome, Aeneas, according to Virgil, was supposed to be a refugee from Troy. We don't specifically know what language the Trojans spoke, but it was more than likely Greek or some dialect of Greek.
