Best Answer

Julius Caesar spoke Latin. He is also known for the excellence of his Latin prose, which is still read by students of Latin today.

He would have delivered speechesand written in Latin but Latin was considered a second 'formal' language even then. Amongst friends and family he would have spoken a kind of lower, colloquial Latin more like modern Italian. Unfortunately, we know very little of this language (not surprising considering as it was almost entirely non-written) what we do know is mainly gathered from graffiti!
