Did Squanto talk in fluent English?

Yes, Squanto spoke English fluently. However, English was not his first language. He originally spoke the language of his tribe, the Patuxet of what is now Massachusetts. He was kidnapped by one of John Smith's liutenants not long before the arrival of the pilgrims. Squanto lived in servitude in England, where he learned the language of the Britons. He was sent back home some years later. The Pilgrims were surprised by his knowledge of English, and especially because of what he supposedly asked them upon first meeting. It is alleged that Squanto asked the pilgrims if they brought any beer with them because he enjoyed it so.
