Hebrew alphabet The modern script used for writing Hebrew (usually called the Jewish script by scholars, and also traditionally known as the square script, or the Assyrian script), evolved during the 3rd century BC from the Aramaic script, which was used by Jews for writing Hebrew since the 6th century BC. Following the Babylonian exile, Jews gradually stopped using the Hebrew script, and instead adopted the Babylonian Aramaic script (which was also originally derived from the Phoenician script). Following the decline of Hebrew and Aramaic as the spoken languages of the Jews, the Hebrew alphabet was adopted in order to write down the languages of the Jewish diaspora ( Karaim, Jud�o-Arabic, Ladino, Yiddish, etc.). www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/hebrew_alphabet

Harrassowitz Verlag The Dictionary includes an index to all the Jewish Babylonian Aramaic words which have cognates or reflexes in Jewish Neo-Aramaic, a very important tool for the history of comparative linguistic studies of Aramaic.

It has an extensive introduction, including a brief history of the Jewish dialects and their relations to older Aramaic, detailed observations on orthography, phonology, morphology, semantics, and other related grammatical features, that will serve the users well. www.harrassowitz.de /verlag/Arab-Isl/4557.htm

Gemara (Talmud) The Talmud is composed in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic (the latter was the spoken vernacular of Babylonian Jews). The scholars (Rabbis) who participated in the Talmud are referred to as "Amora'im" [singular: "Amora"], from an Aramaic word that originally designated the official in the academy whose job it was to recite the scholars' teachings before the public. It must be emphasized that during the era of the Talmud's development, the Jewish "Oral Tradition" was not allowed to be set down in writing, and therefore all the sources mentioned here, except for the Bible, were edited and transmitted by memory and recitation. www.ucalgary.ca /%7Eelsegal/TalmudMap/Gemara.html   (1288 words)

Forever Settled Part One : A Survey of Old Testament Documents After the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity in 530 BC, the Samaritans offered their aid in rebuilding the Jewish Temple. Aramaic, traditionally the language of Syria, became in Old Testament times the chief language of most of the peoples from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean Coast and indeed continued to be so until the Arab conquests in the seventh and eighth centuries AD (Kenyon). It is not easy to account for the agreements; one possibility is that when corrections had to be made in the Samaritan Pentateuch, an Aramaic Targum was used (the Samaritan dialect and Aramaic are practically identical, and the Samaritan version in places agrees verbatim with the Targum of Onkelos). www.biblebelievers.net /BibleVersions/kjcforv2.htm   (1288 words)

Ribbity Blog For some background: Jewish Neo-Aramaic, in its many dialects, is a descendent of the Eastern Aramaic dialects such as are found in the Babylonian Talmud.
