Yeah I was gonna say I’ve spoken Spanish at blackjack tables in Florida and California - and I don’t think many people at the Pai Gow table are speaking English either

Anecdotally, I saw some counter's file which stated that he said the count aloud in Spanish - but I imagine that most people know the numbers 1-10 in Spanish.

Sticking with the obvious, "Only English at the table, please" is pretty ubiquitous.
That said, paranoia demands the assumption that anything said on a casino floor will be overheard by adversaries, and they can read whatever lights up on your phone screen.

At a poker table it's English only, but I've never heard that at any other table game. Boyd Gaming would have to lay off half of their dealers if that was the rule.

Fair enough. I hear it pretty commonly out here in the sticks, to the point that it's often a clearly posted house rule for all table games.
May the cards fall in your favor.
