Hi All,
I'm new to this forum...I'm glad I found it, though! <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
Could someone please tell me what the differences, if any, are between the language Jesus spoke and the language of the Peshitta? Could a speaker of Palestianian Aramaic in the First Century understand a speaker of Eastern Syriac or vice-versa? Are the differences (if they exist) in pronounciation, spelling, vocabulary, grammer, syntax or what? Would the difference be more like the difference between modern British English and American English, or more like the difference between modern Dutch and German?
Thanks for your replies, in advance.
In Christ,
Daniel
