Modern Aramaic that is spoken today, known as Neo-Aramaic, represents a number of Aramaic languages that have splintered off and evolved separately in small alcoves and villages throughout the Middle East.
The largest cluster of dialects still spoken are known as North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) and are found in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. (See the NENA Database Project in the links below.) The most prominent dialect among NENA is Assyrian Neo-Aramaic.
Other Aramaic languages outside of NENA that survive to this day also include Turoyo (in eastern Turkey and north-eastern Syria), Ma'loula (in the villages of Ma'loula, Bakh'a and Jub'addin in south-western Syria), and Neo-Mandiac (spoken in the villages of Ahvaz and Khorramshahr).
There is also a large Aramaean diaspora in the United States, Sweden, and other countries in Europe due to persecution.
Other "liturgical" dialects of Aramaic also survive to this day, but are primarily used for religious purposes, such as Classical Syriac (Syriac Orthodox Church), Samaritan Aramaic (modern Samaritans), several Jewish Aramaic dialects, and others and these languages can be found wherever their religious communities now live throughout the world.
