What I meant when I said that, was how Paul would have talked. Whatever the Turkish Aramaic dialect was is what Paul's parents would have spoken. Paul was schooled in the Judean dialect though. So my question is, could Paul have spoken a mixture of the two dialects? It just seems like a natural conclusion to me. I don't know if I would call the dialect Syriac of Tarsus or not, honestly. I don't know what the dialect of Tarsus was. I know Syriac was spoken in some parts of Turkey.
