Much of California is now being occupied by neighbors from Mexico, but most of the natives do not  trouble themselves to learn much more than a smattering of Spanish (which is their loss.). Aramaic was the language that Jesus spoke in daily conversation and used to preach to the people. Hebrew was the language of Scripture. Scholars believe that Jesus and Pilate spoke in Greek while before the high priests, elders and the crowd, NOT Latin which was Pilates's first language....Greek, a language of commerce and much better understood than Latin by people from Jesus's district.
