Chizkuni

ויכר יוסף את אחיו, “Joseph recognised his brothers;” because they addressed each other with their names, and he understood both their names and the language in which they spoke.

Ramban

BUT THEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM. I.e., at all. And so he no longer needed to make himself appear strange to them. Now in this matter of recognition, our Rabbis have said127Kethuboth 27b. that Joseph recognized his brothers because he had left them bearded, but they did not recognize him because when he left them he had no beard and now they found him with a beard.
Now Issachar and Zebulun were but a little older than Joseph,128Thus they were also beardless when Joseph left, so how did he recognize them now that they were bearded? but having recognized the older ones, he recognized them all. Moreover, he recognized them because he knew they were bound to come, but they did not recognize him because it did not occur to them that a slave sold to the Ishmaelites should be the ruler of a land.
Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra says: And he recognized them.129Verse 7 here. That is, at first he recognized them to be his brothers, and following that, he looked at each one and recognized him individually.130This explains the repetition in Verse 8, And Joseph recognized his brethren, since it refers to individual recognition.

והם לא הכירהו BUT THEY RECOGNISED HIM NOT — because when he left them he had no beard whereas now he had grown a beard.
