How many languages did Cleopatra know how to speak?

Cleopatra is believed to have spoken at least three languages fluently:

* Egyptian: Her native language.

* Greek: The language of the ruling class in Egypt at the time, and the language of education and diplomacy.

* Latin: The language of the Roman Empire, which was becoming increasingly influential in Egypt.

It's likely she also had some understanding of other languages spoken in her kingdom, such as Aramaic.

There is speculation that she may have spoken other languages, but there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
