   From what I see, Hebrew was the “Latin” of Judea
after the exile  [ which exile? do you mean the
 Babylonian?  UH ] until after the bar Kochba revolt...

  Karl,
  How do you, or anyone, 'see' or know that Mishnaic
  Hebrew was not a spoken language?  
  The earlier language had changed in time, which is
quite normal.
  There is a vast literature on the subject. The
 indications that people spoke it are quite clear.
