Latin

Latin was the native language of Rome. When the Etruscans came they starting writing the language. Hundred years later they took their written language wherever they conquered. Because the Roman Empire was prestigious many barbarian tribes used Latin for court and adopted their alphabet to write their own language. This meant that Western Europeans all wrote using the Latin alphabet.
