Quote from the Related Link: "Aramaic is a Semitic language with a 3,000-year history. It has been the language of administration of empires and the language of divine worship. It is the original language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Jerusalem Talmud and also of the Babylonian Talmud. Aramaic was one of the languages of Jesus (see Aramaic of Jesus)(see Hebrew of Jesus). Modern Aramaic is spoken today as a first language by numerous, scattered communities, most significantly by the Assyrians and Aramean-Syriac people. The language is considered to be endangered."
