Sorry John. Jesus spoke Aramaic

I never said He didn't. I said that He also spoke Hebrew since he quoted the scriptures which are in Hebrew. It's highly likely that he also spoke Greek and perhaps a little latin. After all he did speak to people other than just the Jews, (centurians and other roman officials, etc)

Check again. Greek was the foreign language (the language of the foreigners) and not spoken by the indigneous people as a matter of pride. Nobody spoke Latin. Hebrew was reserved for the Liturgy and scholars, not commonly used or understood as MOST people couldn't read and write.

Many Palestinians, both Muslim and Christian, still speak Aramaic.
