>I speak in Latin to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse.

What did he mean by this?
>>
Latin as an official, fancy language that he felt was worthy of communion with God, italian to women because of its seductiveness, french to his men because he thought it to be noble, german because of its strict, military feel.

At the very least I'd expect a more appropriately meme worthy language.

>>3344160
Wrong retards

Latin = Religion's language
Italian = Romantic language
French = Lingua Fraca and military language of the time (to men = to other nobles and to soldiers)
German = Irrelevant as shit and only good for animals

That's what he meant by this
Next time, try to study the context of the era before letting the 20th century spawned meme of German militarusm spill over a 16th century dude
>>
>>3345219
That's wrong though. The quote originally goes:

>Unde solebat, ut audio, Carolus V Imperator dicere, Germanorum linguam esse militarem: Hispanorum amatoriam: Italorum oratoriam: Gallorum nobilem ("When Emperor Charles V used to say, as I hear, that the language of the Germans was military; that of the Spaniards pertained to love; that of the Italians was oratorical; that of the French was noble").
>>
>>3343899
>German to my Horse.
he had affection to his horse, he spoke with him in the language that he spoke as a child
>>
>>3345221
Pure bullshit
He wasn't speaking to God when speaking this quote, and therefore it can't be in Latin
>>
>>3345224
>the language that he spoke as a child

Spanish?
>>
>>3343899
>What did he mean by this?

He spoke German with his lovers.
>>
>>3345225
That's not a quote by him that's a quote about him you moron, and it's the earliest reference to him saying something like that.
>>
>>3345227
german, charles had a lot of trouble in Spain when he was young because he didn't know spanish.
