Also Aractus your post is really interesting. Good research. I don't have time right now to reply to a post that enormous, but I'll try for one part-
1) I don't think the Israelites spoke hebrew while in Egypt. Furthermore Moses was raised in an Egyptian household. The earliest known hebrew writing dates from 1000 BC give or take a few years. (The gezer calendar)
2) Abraham wasn't native to Canaan. It's more likely he spoke and taught his children Sumerian or aramaic. Though we can be certain he could communicate with other Canaanites.
3) By the time of Jacobs 12 sons, they probably would've been speaking protosinaitic (90% of people don't know this word exists) and hence could make out what to say to Pharoah in authentic Egyptian.
4) when moses went for a total of 80 years out of Egypt he must have picked up certain words from the natives.
5) Abraham was called Hebrew because of his ancestor Eber. That's where the word hebrew came from. Not because of the language
6) when the hebrews settled in Canaan I doubt they'd speak Egyptian as fluently as their parents since they weren't born in Egypt. They'd probably have knowledge of local languages.
7) we don't know when the pentateuch was written. From Wikipedia, the torah has multiple authors and its composition took place over around 6 centuries but the "hebrew language" could very well be a mixture of the Canaanite, aramaic and proto sinaitic languages. Because languages change, by the time the torah was finally collected, it would have been closer to classical hebrew.
8) The first appearance of classical hebrew around 10th century BC fits perfectly with the Saul- David timeline
PHEW! That was long
