The language of the Quran: Aramaic?

[Paul Younan]

The Quran is just about as Arabic as can be, although there are definitely some Aramaicisms and Aramaic loan-words. That's to be expected though, as much of what Muhammed learned about Judeo-Christianity was in an Aramaic milieu.

That's a far cry from the document originally having been written in Aramaic, which I find nearly impossible since virtually none of the famed rhyme and alliteration-assonance within the Quran would work if translated into Aramaic.
