Cæsar cried out in Greek (must have had a little too much moussaka the night before, I suppose). The "et tu Brute" was translated into Latin later, maybe because someone had an inkling that Shakespeare would write a play about it 1600 years later, and the Greek didn't fit iambic pentameter. Whichever, I'm also relatively sure that JC didn't subsequently yell "then fall Cæsar," either, since English* wasn't even yet patent pending at the time of the assassination.
*for Republican trolls, a bit of explanation. "English" is a hybrid European language incorporating mostly Germanic and Latin (Norman/Old French) root words, with hints of Celtic creeping in on rare occasions. You call it "American" in your official dialect of Republicanese, although the reasoning for that remains a mystery, since most people (except, apparently, for Republicans) are aware that England is in Europe, not North America. Tlingit, Wampanoag, Nahuatl, Guaraní,--now THERE are some American languages. Of course, no Republican would ever admit to knowing that in public, for fear that Sean Insanity would withdraw free support from Fox Noise during the next primary season.
