    What language did those who wrote the Lakhish Letters
speak?

    What you hear in the modern language is irrelevant here.
But out of curiosity, can't you tell the difference 
between 'hem danu' ( they discussed/judged ) and 'anachnu
 dannu"  (we discussed/judged )? Doesn't a dagesh sneak into 
the latter occasionally in normal speech?
