Elizabeth spoke 5 languages what were they?

[1] Queen Elizabeth I knew English, Flemish, French, Greek, Italian, Latin, Spanish, and Welsh. [2] Some are surprised to find out she knew Flemish. For Flemish was the language of Mark Smeaton, one of the men whom King Henry VIII had executed, along with her mother Queen Anne Boleyn. Actually, however, Flemish was a language that was learned by generations of the monarchy, out of respect for Queen Philippa of Hainault. Queen Phillippa had been the wife of King Edward III. [3] French was also a language that was learned by generations of the monarchy. For Queen Elizabeth I was descended from King William I, who was originally from northern France. [4] The monarchy has her Latin book, which she was working on by the time she was four years old. ]2] Spanish was the native language of her stepmother Queen Catherine of Aragon, and of her stepsister Queen Mary I. [4] Welsh was the original language of the Tudor line from which Queen Elizabeth I was descended, through her father King Henry VIII. But she was also Welsh by her mother, Queen Anne Boleyn. Queen Elizabeth I never spoke about her mother. But researchers discovered that every time she left the Palace, she always went past one landmark: the sole remaining bridge upon which her mother's initials hadn't been defaced or removed by order of her father. Oftentimes, passing over or under that bridge wasn't the fastest or most convenient route between two points.
