I'll have to look into the Aramaic masses though.

Though RC, I am a member of a Maronite Catholic parish. The Divine Liturgy is in English, except for the entrance dialogue, certain prayers and the Consecration, which is in Aramaic. To hear the priest chant the words of our Lord in His language, is like being at the Last Supper. You can learn a little about the Maronite liturgy at this link.

The Story of the Maronite Catholics

One of the main reasons I loved the Passion of the Christ so much was hearing the aramaic and street latin being spoken in conversation. I don’t know if it was all historically correct or not, but they were certainly well versed in their dialogue, and it was a blast for an amateur linguist like myself.
