아람어 [Aramaic language]
시리아 등지에서 BC 9세기의 아람어 비문(碑文)이 출토되고 있다. BC 8세기에 아람인이 상업민족으로서 서아시아 각지에서 활약한 후부터 아람어는 국제통상용어가 되고, 아시리아나 신바빌로니아에서는 외교용어가 되어, 고대 페르시아에서 아프가니스탄에까지 퍼졌다. 그러나 알렉산드로스대왕의 침입 이후 그리스어의 공용어화에 따라서 아람어는 동방파와 서방파로 분열되었다. 서방파(西方派)에는 구약성서에서 쓰이는 아람어나 사마리어, 또 그리스도가 사용하던 팔레스티나 아람어 등이 있는데, 시리아의 일부에서는 현재도 쓰이고 있다. 동방파에는 바빌로니아 탈무드, 거기서 파생한 시리아어 ·만데아어 등이 있고, 현재도 아르메니아나 메소포타미아의 일부에서 쓰인다.

Aramaic/Proto-Hebrew alphabetOriginsThe Early Aramaic or Proto-Hebrew alphabet was developed sometime during the late 10th or early 9th century BC and replaced Assyrian cuneiform as the main writing system of the Assyrian empire. This alphabet is thought to be the ancestor of a number of Semitic alphabets as well as the Kharosthi alphabet. At the end of the 6th century BC the Early Aramaic alphabet was replaced by the Hebrew square script which is also known as the Aramaic alphabet. Notable features
Used to writeAramaic, a language which was the lingua franca of much of the Near East from about 7th century BC until the 7th century AD, when it was largely replaced by Arabic. Classical or Imperial Aramaic was the main language of the Persian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires and spread as far as Greece and the Indus valley. After Alexander the Great destroyed the Persian Empire, Aramaic ceased to be the official language of any major state, though continued to be spoken widely. It was during this period that Aramaic split into western and eastern dialects. Aramaic was once the main language of the Jews and appears in some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is still used as a liturgical language by Christian communities in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, and is still spoken by small numbers of people in Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Syria. Aramaic has also been written in versions of the Latin, Hebrew and Cyrillic alphabets, though the Syriac is the most widely used script to write Aramaic. Proto-Hebrew/Early Aramaic alphabet
