Shalom everyone,
I have borrowed from my friend some Aramaic Greetings. I have
collected some greetings in various Aramaic dialects. I thought some of us
would enjoy reading and learning Jesus Christ language.
So far I have found these phrases. In the future I will be updating the
post should I find more.
*Galilean Aramaic*
Galilean Aramaic was the language Jesus Christ spoke. It belongs to the
Western branch of Aramaic. The sole survivor of the Western branch in
modern times is the Aramaic dialect spoken in the Syrian village of Maalula.

Assyrian Neo-Aramaic:
is the most widely spoken of the Neo-Aramaic languages with an estimate of
between 500 hundred to one million speakers.
Not to be confused with ancient Assyrian, also a Semitic language but not
Aramaic. Assyrian was eventually completely supplanted by Aramaic due to
various reasons, both languages being spoken in the Assyrian empire,
widespread bilingualism and close affiliation between the two being both
Semitic.

*Targumic Aramaic*
Targumic is the language of the targums, translations of the Hebrew Bible
into Aramaic. These translations were a necessity because Hebrew falling
out of use as a spoken language by the 3rd century AD being replaced by
Aramaic.
Targumic Aramaic was written in the so-called square Aramaic alphabet from
which the Hebrew one derived. Nowadays the morden Hebrew alphabet is used
to write Targumic due to their closeness and for ease of use.

I hope you have enjoyed some words that Jesus Christ spoke over 2,000
years ago... I am not sure if it's 2,018 years, if someone could help me
determine the correct years Jesus died and was resurrected and still is
alive in us and still awaiting his return.. I would gladly appreciate the
knowledge! Thank you.
Many Blessings to everyone who read my message above and peace in the
Messiah!
As for me, I love the language spoken in Aramaic. Please enjoy.
