The oldest manuscripts of Classical literature are written in what language?

  1. French

  2. Italian

  3. Latin

  4. Greek

The correct answer is: Greek

Classical literature refers to the literature of ancient Greece and Rome, thus it makes sense that the oldest manuscripts would be written in the language of the ancient Greeks. While French and Italian may have some influence from Latin, they were not widely spoken or written during the period of Classical literature.
