Why was it argued that the Hebrew bible canonization should include only Hebrew documents and not other languages?
They felt it was important for the preservation of the Hebrew language. It was also believed that the documents that were not in Hebrew or Aramaic (i.e. that were in Greek) were more corrupted and less reliable.Answer:It wasn't "argued." There was never any question. The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) contains the prophecies of Israelite prophets, who spoke and wrote in Hebrew. Those few chapters which were given in Aramaic (see parts of the book of Daniel, for example), were preserved in that language. Had the prophets communicated in any other language, the Tanakh would have recorded and preserved their exact words.Note also that, according to Jewish tradition, the canon of the Hebrew Bible was sealed around 340 BCE, in the last years of Hebrew prophecy.

In what year did Jews start talking Hebrew?
All the way back. According to tradition, Abraham founded what we now call Judaism in 1809 BCE, and the Hebrew language was what he used. Our tradition states that Hebrew was the language with which God created the world (Rashi commentary, Genesis 2:23, quoting the midrash); and it is the language in which He spoke on Mount Sinai.Since it was considered a holy language and was used for prayer and the teaching of religious tradition, it was not spoken in mundane contexts and wasn't taught to just anyone. It was handed down from individual teachers to disciples as part of the original tradition; and the same goes for the art of writing (letters on parchment, as opposed to cuneiform or hieroglyphics). Thus, certain Hebrew Psalms (92 and 139) and teachings are attributed to Adam, the first man. The wider public, most of whom descended relatively quickly into idolatry and sin, were not given access to the treasures of the original tradition, since by their actions they implicitly repudiated it.After the Flood, the Hebrew language had a brief period in which it was generally known, thanks to Noah (see Rashi commentary on Genesis 11:1). This is why many hundreds of Hebrew words have cognates in languages as diverse as German and Japanese. The alphabet, which secular scholars trace back to the Greeks and the earlier Phoenicians, is according to our tradition actually one step older than that: it is from the Hebrew aleph-bet, which those of the Phoenicians and Greeks closely mimic. The earliest known Greek inscription (the Dipylon) was written from right to left.After the Flood also, the knowledge of Hebrew eventually declined (see Genesis ch.11) and was preserved only among the Western Semites, the ancestors and cousins of Abraham. Eber, from whom our word "Hebrew" (Ivrit) is named, was a Semitic descendant of Noah and ancestor of Abraham. He was one of the major transmitters of the original traditions. He is credited with having broadened the Hebrew language, and some Hebrew grammatical constructs are attributed to him by certain Jewish researchers.After the time of Abraham, Hebrew was preserved as part of the Israelite tradition, and still is.
