Trojan ask Aeneas
came in here to post this
as for the trojans themselves... some skimming seems to suggest it's somewhat inconclusive as to their origins, though it's speculated they were related to the hittites.
it's safe to say, however, the trojans were of the anatolian branch of the indo-european family.
if the aenid hypothesis is true, then, "core" romans would be some mix of anatolian and italian. linguistically speaking though, their latin tongue is (speculated to be) of the italo-celtic branch of the indo-european family.
