Bruce Wrote:Hello Scholars,
What is the difference in the Aramaic of Daniel and Ezra compared to the Aramaic New Testament, 50 A.D.?
Hi, I am not a scholar,
The most qualified to answer this question would be Steve Caruso (forum member), I think, but the Aramaic of Dani?l is Imperial Aramaic.
The NT from 50AD does not exist. At least, I know of none. Even not of Greek. The most complete ancient Aramaic NT is from Egypt 5th century, having Western Syriac type and language. The difference is that those two are two different dialects, and they differ probably just as much as Spanish and Italian.
