Jewish Language Research Website: Jewish Aramaic The Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jews emigrated to Israel in the early 1950s, and their language was superseded by Hebrew. As in other Jewish languages, many Judaic and even some secular terms are borrowed from Hebrew, rather than being inherited from traditional Jewish Aramaic, e.g., Hebrew עולם 'world', rather than Aramaic עלמא. The division into Eastern and Western Aramaic is most evident in the Palestinian (Yerushalmi) Talmud (Western, completed ca. www.jewish-languages.org /jewish-aramaic.html

Aramaic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aramaic is really a group of related languages, rather than a single, monolithic language. Aramaic nouns and adjectives can exist in one of three states; these states correspond in part to the role of cases in other languages. It is also helpful to draw a distinction between those Aramaic languages that are modern living languages, those that are still in use as literary languages, and those that are extinct and are only of interest to scholars. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aramaic_language

Aramaic Aramaic exercised an important influence on Hebrew, and Jewish culture, and parts of the Old Testament (like the books of Daniel and Ezra) are written in Aramaic. Aramaic is closely related to Hebrew, Syriac, and Phoenician, and its alphabet is belived to have been based upon the Phoenician alphabet. Syriac was a very important language for Christian groups of today's Iraq, and is still spoken by an important minority of a couple of hundred thousand people in Iraq, Iran and Turkey. i-cias.com /e.o/aramaic.htm

Judeo-Persian - Pictures Judeo-Persian was a language spoken by the Jews living in Persia. More than five hundred years after the end of that dynasty the Jews of the Babylonian diaspora again came under the dominion of the Persians; and among such Jews the Persian language held a position similar to that held by the Greek language among the Jews of the West. But in the Aramaic Targum there are very few Persian words, owing to the fact that after the middle of the third century the Targumim on the Pentateuch and the Prophets were accepted as authoritative and received a fixed textual form in the Babylonian schools. www.greatestinfo.org /Dzhidi

Discovering the Messiah's Lost name - Easa(Jesus) ibn Matyam - The Historical Jesus and the Qur'an Aramaic is the language of the Nazoreans and their ancient texts such as the Ginza Rba and Qulasta, and of the echoes of their teachings in Rabbinical books like the Zohar. West Aramaic dialects includ Nabataean (formerly spoken in parts of Arabia), Palmyrene (spoken in Palmyra, which was northeast of Damascus), Palestinian-Christian, and Judeo-Aramaic. Much of the Old Testament was in Aramaic as well, and the earliest Christian societies throughout Arabia from Palestine, to Syria, to Nabataea spoke Aramaic. essenes.net /disc.htm

Jewish, Jewish, Everywhere, & not a drop to drink The program has grown out of the conviction that Judaic civilization merits its own comprehensive and thorough treatment and that proper understanding of any culture is inconceivable without adequate knowledge of the language, literature, and history of the people that created it. Accordingly, the offerings in the areas of Jewish languages and literatures have been considerably expanded, and courses in ancient, medieval, and especially modern Jewish history and culture have been added to the program. The subject of the Holocaust and the associated phenomenon of Anti-Semitism as well as the rise of the modern State of Israel and the revival of the modern Hebrew language have all stimulated unusual interest in greater in-depth academic study, research, reading and lecturing about these core areas of knowledge related to current events. simshalom.blogspot.com

Hebrew New Testament Book found In India Thus the story of Pantaneus�s visit is a strong and independent witness to the fact that the history of the Christian community in India goes back to the first century and the earliest converts were Jews and they were in possession of the Gospel of Nazarenes written in Aramaic, left to them by St. Bartholomew. We have pointed out earlier that the Jewish Christians had a gospel written in Aramaic (Hebrew) known as the Gospel of the Nazarenes as the Jewish Christians were called Nazarenes and this gospel had some relation to the New Testament Matthew. We need to note that according to the Acts of Thomas, the first converts made by Thomas in the kingdom of Gondaphorus in north west India was a Jewish flute girl who knew Hebrew. www.asianinfo.org /asianinfo/issues/hebrew_new_testament_book_found_.htm

Baha'i Faith - The Reality of Islam and Mohammad The Aramaic root of the Aramaic word "baha" (glory) can be found in David Cohen's Dictionnaire Des Racines Semitiques (Paris: Mouton and Co., 1976), p. Thus man's adoption of abstract symbols for language at the time of Adam proved man's mind could now receive the abstract concept of the invisible reality of God--the invisible Essence who cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched, but Who is only accessible to he highest faculty of man--the conscious intellect. This is the same time period that we know the first languages came about, with man representing his thoughts in symbols. bupc.montana.com /islam.html

Judeo-Spanish: Birth, Death and Re-birth But along with these archaic usages, which are very understandable given the historical path of the language, there are also some genuine lexical creations based on Ladino (Judeo- Spanish calque), produced by the word-for-word translation from Hebrew into Spanish, which go back to the 13th or even the 12th centuries. Judeo-Spanish, a language of fusion, is essentially 15th century Castilian, coloured initially by regionalisms and hispanic Arabicisms, and after 1492 by Moroccan Arabicisms, Turkisms, Italianisms, Hellenisms, Slavisms, etc. taken on in the various host countries. This trend continues, because although the number of those who acknowledge Judeo-hispanicity is probably much higher (we are thinking here of Jews in Latin American countries, where the number of those who still speak their language of origin is dropping quickly). www.kahalbraira.org /mendes/judeo_spanish.html

The Jewish-Languages List .

Multilingualism in Israel Hebrew (actually Hebrew and Talmudic Aramaic) was used for religious and literacy purposes, a Jewish language like Yiddish or Judeo-French or Ladino or Judeo-Arabic for most other community and home functions (Rabin 1981), and one or more "co-territorial vernaculars" for communication with non-Jews (Weinreich 1980). This model of language organization became the norm for the Jewish people during most of their dispersion, with separate defined functions for three languages. The present pattern of multilingualism in the region started to take shape with the return of Jews to Palestine in the latter part of the nineteenth century (Spolsky 1993). www.biu.ac.il /HU/lprc/aral.htm   (2795 words)

School of English and Modern Languages : Although Hebrew (actually the amalgam of Hebrew and Judeo-Aramaic) is generally known in the Talmud as "The Holy Tongue", other languages too are mentioned as acceptable to God and/or the angels(e.g., Judeo-Aramaic [Aramaic], Greek, Persian). Although there are a number of myths concerning the miraculous nature of Hebrew there is no scriptural text that actually proclaims the language to be holy. After Hebrew became incomprehensible to the majority of worshippers, various customs arose that essentially implied that any language was acceptable, not ponly for prayer but even for public readings of the weekly lection and above all, for Talmud study. www.roehampton.ac.uk /artshum/engmod/colloquium/abstracts.asp   (2795 words)

Hebrew language - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch At the end of the 3rd millennium BC the ancestral languages of Aramaic, Ugaritic, and other various Canaanite languages were spoken in the Levant alongside the influential dialects of Ebla and Akkad. Aramaic has contributed many words and expressions to Hebrew, mainly as the language of commentary in the Talmud and other religious works. Although the original Aramaic letter forms were derived from the same Phoenician alphabet that was used in ancient Israel, they had changed significantly, both in the hands of the Mesopotamians and of the Jews, assuming the forms familiar to us today around the first century AD. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /hebrew_language.htm   (2795 words)
