Julius Caesar spoke Latin. He is also known for the excellence of his Latin prose, which is still read by students of Latin today.
He would have delivered speechesand written in Latin but Latin was considered a second 'formal' language even then. Amongst friends and family he would have spoken a kind of lower, colloquial Latin more like modern Italian. Unfortunately, we know very little of this language (not surprising considering as it was almost entirely non-written) what we do know is mainly gathered from graffiti!
Latin and Greek. He was a refined Roman gentleman, whose education included Greek - both language and literature - and he could express himself in Greek as readily as in Latin.

The language of Ancient Rome was Latin, however educated Romans spoke Greek, so amongst the patricians, Caesar would have spoken Greek. In fact, when he died, he is believed not to have said "Et tu, Brute," but instead "καὶ σὺ τέκνον," which is Greek for "Even you, my son?" (Brutus was not actually Gaius Iulius Caesar's son, Caesar used it poetically.)
Octavius was Caesar's adoptive son but he was actually his nephew.

Yes. Roman gentlemen of his time were familiar with Greek, both language and literature, and were happy to show off. In fact, the famous phrase "alea iacta est", ie. "the die is cast", attributed to Caesar is not quite correct, because actually he said it in Greek, and it was a quotation from a Greek drama.

In ancient Greek drama a chorus is a group of actors who commented on the action of the play in unison. Those plays were written hundreds of years before Julius Caesar lived. There is no chorus in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.
