ARAMAIC--LANGUAGE OF YESHAU AND HIS APOSTLES

During its 3,000-year written history,[4] Aramaic has served variously as a language of administration of empires and as a language of divine worship. It was the day-to-day language of Israel in the Second Temple period (539 BC – 70 AD), the language spoken by Jesus,[5][6] the language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud.[7] However, Jewish Aramaic was different from the other forms both in lettering and grammar. Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are in Jewish Aramaic showing the unique Jewish lettering, related to the unique Hebrew language.(Allen C. Myers, ed. (1987))
