The Lord's Prayer in Aramaic

Abwûn d'bwaschmâja
Nethkâdasch schmach
Têtê malkuthach
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha
Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna
Waschboklân chaubên (wachtahên) aikâna daf chnân schvoken l'chaijabên
Wela tachlân l'nesjuna ela patzân min bischa
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.
Amên.


Aramaic is the liturgical language of the Maronite Catholic Church, as well as the Syro-Malankara and Chaldean Churches. There is nothing more beautiful than to hear the priest chant the Consecration in the words and language of Our Lord - Aramaic.

That’s great that someone is preserving this language. I’d like to see comparisons to other languages (Hebrew, etc.) to see similarities.

It is a living miracle, how these towns are keeping Aramaic alive.
