Aramaic, the language of the Arameans��.. (The Arameans or Aramaeans (also called Syriacs) were a Semitic, nomadic people who dwelt in Aram-Naharaim or "Aram of the two rivers," also known as Mesopotamia a region including modern Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and parts of Iran that is mentioned six times in the Hebrew Bible. The specific "two rivers" are variously identified by various scholars, though one of the rivers is generally the Euphrates. The compilers of the Jewish Encyclopedia http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=1701&letter=A , in 1901/8 did not find the name in Babylonian or Assyrian inscriptions, but identified it with Nahrima in three tablets of the Amarna letters.)����.
has been spoken in the Levant and Mesopotamia , (Aramaic "Aram Beth-Nahreen" or "Aram-Naharaim ") from perhaps 700 BC Centuries: until the present day It is a member of the Semitic languages group. Today Aramaic is spoken among about 500,000 nativespeakers http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=950 (with varying degrees of fluency) in scattered communities across the Fertile Crescent . There are 15,000 speakers in three Syrian villages in the Qalamoun Mountains north of Damascus (Ma'aloula, Bakh`a, Jubb`adin), but most speakers live in the area often termed Kurdistan in English, from Lake Urmia to Hakkari - and even in the USA by Syriacs (also known as Assyro-Chaldeans and Maronites) immigrants from this area. A few live in Mesopotamia proper (called in Aramaic Bethnahrin). Aramaic is used in many Jewish holy texts and some Jewish prayers. Some of the parts of the Hebrew Bible. (two words in Genesis 31:47, Jeremiah 10:11, Daniel 2:4b-7:28, and Ezra 4:8-6:18 and 7:12-26,) and the Zohar are written in Aramaic, and so is most of the Kaddish prayer. Most of the Gemara section of the Babylonian Talmud is written in Eastern Aramaic, while comparable sections in the Jerusalem Talmud are written in Western Aramaic. Aramaic is divided into two groups: Western and Eastern. � Western - this group is extinct as a spoken language and included Nabataean (extinct, spoken in parts of Arabia, Palmyrenean (extinct, spoken in Palmyra, Syria and adjoining regions), and Palestinian-Christian and Judeo-Aramean. A Western Aramaic dialect was the spoken language in Roman Judea in Jesus's time, as quotes given in the Greek Gospels show http://www.aramaicnt.org/index.php?PAGE=RutgersProject&controlpanel=greekscript. Example: A few religious groups such as the monks of Mar Sarkis and some isolated followers of the Assyrian Church still use languages of this group for liturgical purposes. Rev. William Fulco reconstructed the Aramaic of Jesus for the film script of The Passion of the Christ (2004). Eastern - this group includes Syriac, Mandaic, and Neo-Assyrian (not Akkadian Assyrian) dialects/languages. Some of these are still spoken in a few villages in Syria, notably Ma'loula, Qamishli, etc., Lebanon, Iraq, Georgia, USA, Australia, Canada, Armenia, etc. Some Jewish speakers of Aramaic have immigrated to Israel and Los Angeles. The Jews are most likely of Assyrian heritage, but adopted the Jewish faith. There is an annual convention of native Aramaic speakers in Los Angeles. The Aramaic version of the Christian Bible is in the Syriac dialect, and a sample can be found in the article on the Lord's Prayer. Many linguists are currently working on modern spoken Aramaic, such as Geoffrey Khan, Yona Sabar, and Otto Jastrow. A professor at the University of California, Los Angeles is currently working on a dictionary of modern spoken Aramaic. Biblical Connections Aramaic was the language of the area once known as "Aram-Naharaim" or 'Aram of the two rivers', from whence derives the Biblical tradition that the Aramaeans were descendants of two Nahors (Abram's grandfather and Abram's brother): Nahor1 > Terah > Nahor2 > Kemuel > Aram -> Aramaeans). They are regarded by Hebrews as one of their closest relative nations and with them share the title "Children of Eber" from Genesis 10:21. In Deuteronomy 26:5 Jews are taught to remember that Jacob was practically Aramaean with a grandmother, mother and wives from Naharaim. They are descendants of Shem, from whom the Aramaic word She-maa-yaa (Semitic) is derived, but Aram of the two Nahors, though a descendant of Shem, is not to be confused with Aram the son of Shem. The theory relating "Naharaim" to "Nahor" is problematic, as the word for 'river' and the name "Nahor", while identically spelled in English, are spelled differently in the original. "Aram-Naharaim", or 'Aram of the Rivers', is so called because it sits on the northern reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Further, "Hebrews" means 'Children of Eber', among other possible meanings, so there would not be 'Children of Eber' who are related to the Hebrews. Finally, all four of Jacob's grandparents were Arameans, and his mother was raised there as well.
