What language was spoken in North Africa before the Arabs arrived?

by Puriwara

Since the romans were there previously, I wonder if it might have been something a lot like latin, similar to Spanish or Italian.

If there is any information on it, what did it sound like? Were there any aspects of the local language(s) that are/were completely unique?
