If you had just asked what language the Jews of Spain spoke, the question would have been easy. Jews spoke to one-another in Ladino, also known as Judaeo-Spanish. They also spoke the standard Spanish of the time.
What language was spoken to Jews depends on who was speaking to them. Muslims (Arabs, Muladíes, and Amazigh/Moors) would typically speak to them in Arabic. Spaniards would usually speak to them in the various Spanish languages, like Old Castilian, Leonese, Old Catalonian and Aragonese. The Spanish languages and Ladino are more-or-less mutually intelligible, so the Jews could respond in Ladino.
