Professor Wright says: “The language spoken by Jesus has been much debated. We have no certain way of knowing whether he could speak Greek or Latin, but in his teaching ministry he regularly used either Aramaic or the highly Aramaized popular Hebrew. When Paul addressed the mob in the Temple, it is said that he spoke Hebrew (Acts 21:40). Scholars generally have taken this to mean Aramaic, but it is quite possible that a popular Hebrew was then the common tongue among the Jews.”

Aramaic which is similar to Phoenician and Hebrew, but of course Jesus spoke all languages only the apostles were limited. Probably spoken as English by Americans who slay the King's English.

Galilean Aramaic is the most widely believed Language of Jesus. It is a language closely linked to Hebrew but is in and of itself a Language. There is some evidence now that it is possible that Jesus spoke in Hebrew as well.
Edit: speaking in tongues (Various Languages that were previously unknown to the speakers) didn't happen till after Jesus was taken into heaven and the Holy Spirit was "sent" to the disciples.

The old Greek Aramaic and Hebrew

Jesus Christ as a man on earth could well have used a form of Hebrew and a dialect of Aramaic.

Aramaic. Although Jesus, in His human form, knew Hebrew and probably could read Latin.
