Greeks spoke Greek, Egyptians – Egyptian. What language did the Romans speak?

The Romans spoke Latin, now a dead language. The name of the Latin language comes from the Latian tribe who inhabited the Latium region on the Apennine Peninsula. The city of Rome is considered the center of this area. In the process of uniting the Italic peoples under the rule of Rome, Latin ousted and replaced the rest of the local languages. The result of these processes was the adoption of Latin as a common language for the Romans.
