Rashi, on Esth 1:22

“And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people.”

“and speak according to the language of his nationality He can compel his wife to learn his language if her native tongue is different.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
