To place the languages in the order of their arrival in Europe, we can organize them as follows:

  1. C Proto Indo-European: This is the ancestral language from which many language families in Europe (and beyond) descended. It is thought to have been spoken around 4500-2500 BCE before diverging into various branches.

  2. A Indo-European Slavic: The Slavic languages are part of the larger Indo-European family, but they developed as distinct languages later. The Slavic languages began to form around the 5th century CE.

  3. B Latin: Latin, the language of the Romans, arrived in Europe with the spread of the Roman Empire around the 1st century BCE and continued to influence many languages even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century CE.

  4. D Germanic: The Germanic languages developed from the Proto-Germanic language after it diverged from the Proto-Indo-European family. This language group began to distinguish itself around the 1st century CE, with the earliest records of Germanic languages appearing around the 3rd century CE.

So, the order is:

  1. C Proto Indo-European
  2. A Indo-European Slavic
  3. B Latin
  4. D Germanic
