[Patria One]

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.

On languages

What language did Pilot speak? I'd bet it was Latin. What language are the scriptures written in? Hebrew.

Since Jesus read the scriptures and quoted from them we know that He spoke Hebrew.

I'm not saying He didn't speak something else in His day to day activities. I am just saying that He also spoke Hebrew (as all good Jews did) and possibly some Latin and Greek. (Got to speak to those foreigners somehow.)
