Does every language trace its origin back to Latin ? Had there been any languages before the rise of Latin ? What about ancient Greek,Aramaic,Hebrew,Arabic, Sanskrit and Tamil ? Are they even remotely connected to Latin ?

No, Latin is not the root of all languages, nor is it called so except out of ignorance. Of course there were languages long, long before Latin. Humans have been speaking languages for over 100,000 years; Latin only evolved into a language of its own around 2,500 years ago. Greek and Sanskrit are demonstrably related to Latin; the others aren’t. But this isn’t about English, which makes it off topic here; it’s also something you could easily have found out on Wikipedia, which makes it even more off topic.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not about English (it is primarily about Latin). Have a look at Latin Language.
