[Aramean1]

Prof. William J. Fulco: "Preserve the Aramaic language and traditions at all cost! DO not let the splendid Aramaic become endangered. It is wonderful language that links us back to Jesus and centuries of Christian history. To lose that connection would be a tragedy."

I wrote it for the anyone that want to learn (i cant translate the lyrics its to difficult): Lalaire lo hozen le Markabto zoyo mene T horko b eeto kohne zeyhen le. Hayo da qtil wamfalakh Qrof ame akhol wa haya Kohno koye wamsa li halofayn. Brikh dya flan faghre hayo O adme le hosoye nafshotha Haleluya Shubho shonuheyn.

@Waymeeloow No one knows how Galilean Aramaic was pronounced by Jesus actually. The written form however is mutually intelligible so knowing Syriac you'll be able to have basic knowledge of Jesus' Aramaic.

@rav8x8 I'm French and I'm interested in the language of Jesus. How is it "different"? Like, very different or slightly different?

[rav8x8]

Tob Shafiro. This is the Aramaic of Edessa AKA "Syriac". Which is quite different than the one spoken by Jesus.

@YasounaMaait

a few resources on the Net say that Assyrian is not a language, but a name given to a cultural group who speaks Aramaic. The question still remains on whether this is Modern Aramaic or Syriac, the liturgical dialect.

@Unrealll6666 I think English is a much more practical language for that purpose.

The one language to unite the world... Everyone says their language is superior so let's go back in time and use a lost language without bias. Jesus spoke Aramaic.
