The languages which the old and New Testaments were written in?
Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a slight variation of which is still spoken today. Parts of it (notably in the book of Daniel) are written Aramaic. Most of the New Testament is written in Koine Greek (which is not quite like ancient Greek from Homer or Aristotle but is also not like the Greek spoken today in Greece.) Some words in the New Testament are given in Aramaic, like "Talitha koum!" in Mark 5:41. The Aramaic language dates back a long ways and has undergone some changes, particularly because it was a widespread language at one time. However, the primary languages of the Bible are Hebrew and Koine Greek.

As the Dead Sea Scrolls were abandoned at Qumran about 70 CE, this is the latest possible date for any of the scrolls, although few would be likely to have been written in the years of turmoil just before this date.
