Hi Havah
There's no doubt he spoke many dialects. He taught and conversed in Galilee, Samaria, Judea and Syria.
Even today people converse in many different dialects. Even within Eastern and Western dialects there are sub dialects. There are dozens that are still used today.
In the Greek NT, the words that are preserved in Aramaic, are the same in all dialects. So we cannot tell from the Greek NT.
