No, it is assumed that Jesus spoke Aramaic. I don't hold that assumption to be true.

Sorry, but most scholars believe that Jesus and His apostles spoke Aramaic.
Your opinion is in the distinct minority. Where is the evidence that this was the case? Also, it's not an “assumption” that Jesus spoke Aramaic. It's a conclusion drawn from the evidence.

John 1:42 and Matthew 27:46 should pretty much clear it up.
