Attention Stefan:
 
"4. This is the only thing about my argument that I have problems with. I would not like to foster some kind of Theravadin fundamentalism as this would turn the Buddha speaking Pali from a source of inspiration to an inconvenient truth."
 
The Buddha never spoke "Pali" (the language). Pali was a later creation. However the Buddha's  speech was referred to as 'paali' by the commentators. This is textual evidence.
 
Mettaa,
