How many languages did Cleopatra know how to speak?

According to Plutarch, she could converse in nine languages. They were her native Greek, Egyptian, Ethopian, the language of the Troglodytes, Hebrew, Arabian, Syrian, and the languages of the Medes and the Parthians. But don't get over awed by this. Yes, Cleo did have an ear for languages, but the languages that she spoke were all related to the Egyptian-- some of them were just about dialects of Egyptian. Remember, Egypt had been a power in the area for thousands of years and its language had influenced the languages of the surrounding people. Several scholars have pointed out that Latin was a language that she could not speak.
