Real number on FGPA Virtex II

I need to use real numbers in a math processing in FPGA Virtex II, but I don't know what is better, verilog, or vhdl? Can you help me?

    it depends on your familiarity with coding style, go for verilog if you are familiar with C syntax. in the end of the day, it's all about designing logics so whichever language is fine.

    ps. Virtex II is not an Altera's product :)

    Sorry, I'd want to say Stratix II. Real numbers are implemented in this FPGA?

    Real numbers can be handled by any FPGA family using floating point libraries (Altera MegaFunctions). They are part of the Quartus software.
