Aramaic was the day-to-day language. Aramaic is a Semetic language, like Hebrew and Arabic, and was a major language from what is now Israel all the way through to what is now modern Iraq. Aramaic is the primary language of about half of the book of Daniel in The Bible, and it is the primary language of the Gemara (the newer and larger part of the Talmud). Syriac Aramaic is still spoken by a dwindling number of Orthodox Christians, and the Peshitta is the Syriac version of the Bible. The Targum of Onkelos is an Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible. Talmudic and Syriac Aramaic are similar enough that those who speak one can, with a bit of difficulty, communicate with those who speak the other. It is probable that the Aramaic of 2000 years ago would have been equally comprehensible to either a modern Talmudist or a modern Syriac speaker.

The main language spoken in Samaria during Jesus' time was Aramaic. However, Greek was also commonly spoken and understood by some people, particularly among the Jewish elite and those who had interactions with the Roman authorities.
