How many launages did Cleopatra speak?

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

* Egyptian: This was the native language of her people and the language of administration and culture in Egypt.

* Greek: This was the language of the ruling class in Egypt at the time, as well as the language of diplomacy and scholarship.

* Latin: This was the language of the Roman Empire, which was becoming increasingly powerful during Cleopatra's reign.

It's likely that Cleopatra also spoke other languages to some extent, including:

* Demotic: A cursive script used in everyday life in Egypt.

* Coptic: The late form of the Egyptian language, which developed during the Roman period.

There's no definitive answer to how many languages Cleopatra spoke, but evidence suggests she was multilingual and likely had a strong command of at least three languages.
