The ruling on speaking in a gathering in a language the third person does not understand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to speak in a gathering in a language that two of them understand but the third does not?

Answer:
No, this is from whispering; this is from whispering. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you are three, two should not converse (privately) to the exclusion ofاذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون
Sunan Ibn Majah 3775Sahih (Darussalam)
The third person means... and whispering is speaking in secret, and it includes speaking in a language that the one present does not understand, because it leads to bad suspicion of them. Yes.
