Aramaic is spoken by Iraqi Caldians as well. Actually, East Syriac or Assyrian, is a different, but closely related language. Aramaic and Assyrian are closely related enough that speakers of each can understand the other (rather like Russian and Ukrainian). But Aramaic proper is only spoken in the region near Maalula in Syria.

And you, of course know that what is called the Hebrew alphabet, i.e., the Hebrew letters, are actually Aramaic. The language is most often Hebrew, but the alphabet is Aramaic.

Well, the characters are called Ashurit - Assyrian, and they are different from the older script called Ivrit - Hebrew (Paleo-Hebrew). The Assyrian would be a form of Aramaic.
There are many scholarly discussions, secular and religious (including the Talmud), about the relationship between the two scripts.

Time to say the kaddish! I ditto that. The Scriptures have never been more alive to me than when I began studying them in Aramaic & paleo Hebrew.
Zephaniah 3:9 ~ “ For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the LORD, To serve Him with one accord.

Yep...I had a feeling that you would know that; I was surprised that no one had mentioned it on this thread, so I thought I would bring it up.

I do see signs of the world going to one language and I think it’ll be Hebrew just as it was before Migdal Bavel.
