FROM WIKIPEDIA
Aramaic is a Semitic language with a 3,000-year history. It has been the
language of administration of empires and the language of divine worship.
It is the original language of large sections of the biblical books of
Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud. Aramaic is
believed to have been the language spoken by Jesus, and it is still spoken
today as a first language by numerous small communities. Aramaic belongs
to the Afro-Asiatic language family. Within that diverse family, it
belongs to the Semitic subfamily. Aramaic is a part of the Northwest
Semitic group of languages, which also includes the Canaanite languages
(including Hebrew). LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS LANGUAGE, READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE |
