The Romans spoke and spread their language, Latin, wherever they settled. The modern languages of Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and Romania have all evolved from Latin. Other languages such as English have individual words which morphed from Latin as well. In addition, the official languages of the entire continent of South America have evolved from Latin due to the Spanish and Portuguese colonizations.

the Etruscans made a contribution in the area of language, they borrowed the Greek alphabet and made changes in it, and in turn the Romans borrowed the Etruscan alphabet.
