In 200 BC there were immigrations to Europe from Asia, people lived there in the steppes, not by a sea. How do we know that? Because they've all got a different word for sea.
So they came over here, the first ones went to Greece, the others to Italy, then there were some who went to the centre. Each 200 years there was this "wave" of immigrations. Why did they leave? We don't know that. There are some theories but no one knows it for sure.
Anyway, they all spoke one language, Indo-European, but then they didn't see each other, so they developed a proper language. Languages evolve, so they changed. That's how Latin "started", like Greek and English etc.
Actually French is a "dialect" of Latin. Like English is a dialect of Celtic. And Celtic was a dialect of Indo-European.
That's how languages evolve.
When you start learning Swedish for example, you'll notice that there are words who are the same or that words resemble a lot. That's because English and Swedish, and French, Dutch, Spanish, German etc are all Indo-European languages.
I hope you can understand it, and I hope you've now got an answer to your question : )

Latin was one of four ancient members of the Italic language family, a subgroup of Indo-European spoken in the Italian peninsula. The other three languages of that family were Oscan, Umbrian, and Faliscan, all three of which became extinct in ancient times. Latin was spoken in the region along the Tiber River, called Latium. Rome became the principal city of the region.
