In Shakespeare's time and place? English. Pretty much the same as we do now, albeit much of his vocabulary is now obsolete. Shakespeare's works are difficult to understand more because they are written in verse than that they are written in a different language.

English spoken during Shakespeare's time was Early Modern English. It differs substantially from today's English in both vocabulary and grammar, featuring words and sentence structures that are no longer in common use. This style of English is evident in Shakespeare's plays and sonnets.
