A Brief History of the Aramaic Language

Aramaic is one of the world's earliest languages to be written down and it is one the oldest languages to still be used in the present day. Records show that people were speaking Aramaic as far back as the 11th century BC. 

While it is most closely related to Hebrew, Aramaic also has Arabic, Greek, and African roots. Language experts note that “Persian, Ptolemaic, and Roman rulers of Egypt promoted the use of Aramaic and Greek in Egypt” as well, which is why you can see Aramaic names in their texts. Additionally, documentation shows that there were and still are varying Aramaic dialects in the Middle East (often referred to as the Near East in ancient times) – specifically Jewish communities in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey.
