"Shakespearean" isn't a language. It's actually a term for Shakespeare's writing style.
They speak it now. Shakespeare's language was English, the same language as I am writing in. People spoke it then and still do.
However, if you are asking whether people talked offstage the way they talk onstage, the answer is generally no. Although actors can make many scripts sound natural, it is rare to find a script that is as confused, muddle-headed and downright stupid as the way people really talk. Some (but not all) of Shakespeare's dialogue is in verse, in poetry, which makes it even less like the confused, muddle-headed, stupid way people talk. Although it's the same language, it is used differently.

Why do some people think that Shakespearean language is Old English?
They do not know what Old English is. If they understood that Old English was the language in which Beowulf was written and which disappeared about 1100 they would know that Shakespeare could not have written in or even understood it. People tend to get caught up in the reality of their own generation, and anything that belonged to an earlier generation gets lumped together as "old". Chaucer, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Beatles--it's all "old". I mean the Beatles wrote "Please Please Me" and not "Plz plz me" so it must have been Old English right?
