The common language was Aramaic. However all Jewish boys were required to also learn Hebrew. After Alexandria invaded the middle east in 500 B.C. Greek became the international language, as English is today. Jesus could, and most likely did use all these languages. Dependent on the situation he was in. This is of course pure speculation.

Aramaic, plus Greek and probably some Syriac and Coptic. Ancient Hebrew was mostly lost by that time, Though the text we are told of him reading in the synagogue at Nazareth was likely Hebrew (Luke 4:17ff) rather than the Greek Septuagint translation which would be expected in synagogues OUTSIDE PALESTINE.
Coptic was the language of his CHILDHOOD HOME in Egypt and Syriac was a common language in the area immediately north of Galilee, thus a common language very close to his home.
The miracle of Acts 2 certainly would indicate that languages were not a problem for God, so anything he NEEDED to speak he could speak.

Aramaic is what is most commonly believed. Since He was also a Rabi, Hebrew would have been a second language. Today, when he speaks to an individual, it would be in whatever language that individual uses. Blessings, Diana

In the house - Hebrew, or sometimes Aramaic (the street-form of Hebrew)
In the temple - Hebrew probably
On the streets and whenever he gave a sermon - Greek. Greek was the street language of the entire region, everyone spoke Greek. The fishermen, the tax collectors, the doctors, everyone knew Greek. You can thank Alexander the Great for that.
