I have question about how different are
Peshitta Aramaic from Neo-Aramaic.
The point is, for example:
Russia adopted Christianity in 988 while having Old Slavonic
language. The Bible in old Slavonic is still read among modern Russian speakers.
The difference between modern Russian and old Slavonic I
would roughly say: words meanings are same but the spell and pronunciations are
more or less changed. So, when I read old Slavonic, I understand
about 90% of it with no problem.
What is the difference between the Peshitta language
and Neo-Aramaic? I would like to hear it from the native
Neo-Aramaic speakers.
Thanks in advance.
Ivan.
