English, of course. But the Nurse has a penchant for off-colour humour and so a lot of what she says is, you might say, earthy. She speaks mostly in verse, but moves to prose occasionally. Notably in 2,5 she alternates between the two.

What is the importance of the nurse in Romeo and Juliet?

The Nurse provided the rope ladder for Romeo to climb up to Juliet's room on their wedding night and she served as a messanger for Juliet. She was one of the few adults in on the secret, along with Friar Lawrence, and since women Juliet's age weren't allowed out of the house often, the Nurse sent messages between Romeo and Juliet. The Nurse also raised Juliet since she was an infant, and even breastfed her. She was more of a mother to her than Lady Capulet.

What kind of relationship does the nurse have with Juliet?

This is from the point of view of having played the role of Juliet. Juliet loves her mother in a dutiful daughter way, but they do not have a warm, close relationship. She respects her mother, and wants to live up to her mother's expectations, but finds she must rebel in order to keep the sanctity of her (secret) marriage to Romeo. Juliet's relationship with the nurse is much warmer. It is the nurse who breastfed Juliet (probably until she was three or so); it is the nurse who cares for Juliet when she is sick, who sits on her bed and holds her hand when Juliet is afraid, who helps her get dressed for parties, who listens to all her girlish chatter. The nurse is much more of what we, nowadays, would think of as a mother. However, the nurse is also foolish and fickle, and these characteristics cause Juliet to eventually turn from her nurse, and realize that she is truly alone in the world.

Her mother, particularly. The Nurse didn't exactly reject her, but her advice as to how to solve Juliet's problem was so unsatisfactory that Juliet treated it as a rejection. It was the kind of advice that showed that the Nurse did not understand Juliet at all.

Actually all the arrangements for their wedding are made through the Nurse and Friar Lawrence, so Romeo cannot tell Juliet anything of the kind. The nurse makes the suggestion that Juliet should get permission to go to confession so she can get to the church on time.

What is the nature of nurse relationship with juilet in romeo and juilet?

The nurse raised Juliet so they have something similar to a mother daughter relationship. They are considered "close friends". The nurse is always kind and loving to Juliet. She tries to give Juliet the best advice she can. However she cannot step too out of bounds because she is still a servant (especially when her mother or father are around- they treat her with less respect than Juliet). Hope this answers your question :)
