Well the were early Christians of course so they must have spoken Aramaic.

GET AN EDUCATION.

The DNA evidence prove that two unrelated languages must have merged inorder
to produce the so-called Indo-European languages. Any other theory
postulating a common root is untenable unless it dates that root to 80,000
years ago and makes it the root of all Eurasian and Middle Eastern languages
including Chinese, Native American, Finnish and Phoenician. The only
languages that would not have derived from this rood would be the native
African languages unless you are prepared to ago back to an earlier root
130,000 years ago when Homo Sapiens migrated out of Africa.

Contrary to the DELUSIONAL beliefs among linguists humans have capable of
speech and understanding language for 300,000 years. Language simply did not
evolve out of nothing on the Kurgan Home World 7,000 years ago. People were
communicating with each other long before that.
