Answer:

They are both Romance languages that derived from Latin

Step-by-step explanation:

Romance languages are the group of related languages that are all derived from the Latin language. They came from a common, spoken Latin language that was used by the people in everyday life, so-called Vulgar Latin, which is different than classic Latin.

Italian and French are among the most popular and most spoken languages in the Romance languages group. The similarity that comes from Latin is mostly seen in the fact that the sentence order is the same, concepts are the same, they use the same alphabet, and many of the words are similar or same, just pronounced differently.
