What languages were spoken in ancient Europe?
Europe has, and has always had, a wide range of languages. Europe has never been united with one language. Most European languages share common roots. Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and French are all derivatives of Latin. Whereas German, Dutch, English, Swedish and Danish are based on Proto-German. Scottish and Irish Gaelic are derived from the Celtic language, Gaelic.
The languages have developed in semi-isolation from each other but have influenced one another. For example the English word 'beef' is derived from a French word while 'menu' is an unaltered French word. Many English words are derived from French, but they were either picked up in usage or were brought by the Normans to Britain. The reason that there are so many German words in English is that the Saxons spoke a form of German, and, when the Normans invaded Britain, the Saxons became citizens of Norman England. The reason for the French words is that the Normans were originally Vikings, but they started speaking French after they conquered Normandy (named after the Normans).
