I’m an Assyrian (Chaldeans and Syriacs are the same people I’m technically Syriac but that’s a church), most of us by far are from Iraq and turkey not Syria and we speak assyrian neo Aramaic. Assyrian neo Aramaic is also a recognized national language in Iraq along with Turkmen.

Aramaic is so similar to Hebrew that many Israelis mistake it for ancient Hebrew. And also, Aramaic proverbs are used throughout many Hebrew legal texts the same way Latin phrases are used in English legal texts.
Aramaic seems a lot more similar to Arabic though, I can understand 60% of what Aramaic speakers are saying, and their writing form looks almost exactly the same as Arabic
Thank you for the great content. Quick note: Aramaic is more of a language family like Slavic, rather than simply a cluster of dialects, and Assyrian Aramaic (an Eastern Aramaic language) is the most dominant Aramaic language today. The Eastern Aramaic Jewish languages (ie Lishan Didan) are fairly mutually intelligible with Assyrian and exist(ed) within modern geographic Assyria, so I'd consider them dialects of Surit (Assyrian.) AFAIK Western Aramaic is only spoken by a few thousand people who don't identify with Assyrians in Maaloula, Jub'adin and Bakh'a. For what it's worth, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syriacs all refer to ourselves as Suraye (Suraya for single,) and our language Surit, and therefore should be considered a single ethnic Assyrian unit, albeit split among Christian sects
if you guys are thinking that the way the Akkadians/Sumerians and Mayans wrote was weird, you'd be surprised to learn it's nearly the exact same way Japanese writes today
BurnBird that's why there's a 'nearly' there the main point/similarity is writing Sumerian loanwords but using Akkadian pronunciations. In fact, Japanese kana developed out of Chinese characters, the earlier phase of this can be seen in the Manyogana script, in use around 600-1300, where Chinese characters are used for both sound and meaning side by side.

5:35 What you think is the Hebrew script is actually the Aramaic script. The Jewish people adopted it to write Hebrew after the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile to Babylon. And in 5:43 Neo-Aramaic languages are spoken mainly in northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southern Turkey, and northwestern Iran. A tiny minority speak it in Syria and the Levant.
I would love to see a reconstruction of the "proto-romance" language using the technics used to reconstruct P.I.E and see how diferent it would be from Latin
@@Neatling Because you're nonsensical and doesn't reflect common stereotypes. Had you compared it to Finnish, the joke would have made sense.

Because "park" has two meanings, "park" as in the place a person goes to for walks, and "park" as in parking a car. The word "park" used to mean a fence to close off an area of land for hunting, then it meant the closed-off area itself, and then the modern meaning - the public park. The original meaning was also applied to military vehicles, which then evolved to mean "placing a vehicle at a designated spot". "Driveway" means a private road leading a house/private place to a public road. But it became generalized so that is why the short "driveway" between the garage and the road is called that way. A parkway meanwhile has the meaning of "an open landscaped highway", basically a highway but with extra landscaping. Because "public parks" had similar landscaping (usually trees), a highway with landscaped trees got the new word of "parkway".

Jesus' first language indeed would not have been Hebrew, as Hebrew was only an L1 in Old Judea (further south) during the Second Temple Period.
