He was English, so English is a good bet. As an educated man of the 16th century, he undoubtedly spoke Latin, and probably at least some French and Greek as well.

A replica of the Golden Hind had been at Southend for as long as I can remember. It lay alongside the pier. I went to Southend last Saturday, 11/8/07, and discovered it had been replaced by Adventure Island. There is still a galleon type vessel in that spot but it is NOT called the Golden Hind. So it would appear that the Adventure Island galleon replaced the Golden Hind within the last few years.
