Because of the place they first were living, in Nazareth, they spoke Koine Greek, which was the language of the Government. They had to speak Hebrew to be able to go to the temple for worship, or to read the Holy Writings. They were in Egypt for a while, so they had to at least speak a little Egyptian and possibly other languages that are dead now. Although Greek was the international language of the New Testament period, most historians say that Jesus also spoke Aramaic at home with Joseph and Mary.
