Answer 2

Indo-European gave rise to Proto-Italic, which in turn gave Italic, which in turn gave a group of related languages spread along the Italian peninsula - Latin, Oscan, Umbrian, and so on. Latin was named for the area where it was spoken, Latinium, with the area's major city being Rome,

Rome eventually conquered just about everything in sight, and Latin superseded all the other Italic languages.

Answer 3

Latin evolved out of the Proto-Italic language which was a descendant of Proto-Indo-European. It was the language of the region of Italy known as Latium. This region included the watershed of the Tiber river including the city of Rome.
