Jothar, you are mosif and not soser. Clearly, the Imahos spoke the same language as Uncle Lavan, and so the mamaloshen of the shvotim was the same. In tune with the Ramban, you can say we picked up the lashon Hakodesh on our way to Har Sinai. It is also instuctive that HKBH offered the option of Aramis.Perhaps because that was our native toungue? Ivrit was actually the best option with the fourteen verb moods and the moveable vowelation. Why would the Canaanites have such a gift? One teirutz, it was a holdover from dor Haflaga. Other teirutz, there is a deah that the chet ham’raglim was compounded because it sealed the fate of the Canaanites. Had they not had the forty year delay in meeting the Jews, they could have done tshuva!
