Y’gar Sahadutha#1. For the MH phobics, and the Lashon Hakodesh advocates: Ramban on Bereshis 48:12. Ki fi hamedaber aleichem. (my loose teich to Egnleshershracht) “Lashon hakodesh as the opinion of the commentators, and this is the Targum Onkelus. And it is possible he did this as an alibi, or to comfort them, because it is no proof (that he was their brother)that one person in Egypt would speak lashon hakodesh, for IMO, IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF CANNAAN, because Abraham did not bring it with him from Ur Kasdim, nor from Charon, but rather Aramaic, and “this pile” is a witness. It was not the language of one man, but of the whole of Canasn, and many of the Egytians spoke it for it is the neighboring language, and certainly the ruler. For such is the way of kings and statesmen to know languages.
