Greek was spoken throughout the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The major exception was the Palestinian Jews, who continued to speek Aramaic. Even the diaspora Jews spoke Greek, rather than Aramaic. Syriac, a version of Aramaic, and Coptic were secondary languages in Syria and Egypt respectively.
