    Meet Sarah Adaqi from Jerusalem, a speaker of Modern Aramaic, of a dialect once spoken in Dohok (Northern Iraq). Aramaic - the language of Jesus, of the Jewish authors of the Talmud and of many modern Middle Eastern Jewish and Christian communities - is three thousand years old. It exists to this day, but many dialects are in the danger of imminent extinction. In this video, Sarah tells a traditional folktale about friends who liked money more than their own life. Aramaic speakers entertained themselves with folktales such as this one during dark winter nights for centuries. Today, this tradition is disappearing.
    Meet Sarah. Meet Modern Aramaic.

    הכירו את שרה עדקי מירושלים, הדוברת ניב של ארמית חדשה שפעם היה דבור בדוהוק (עירק הכורדית). ארמית היא השפה של חכמי בבל, ישוע הנוצרי אך גם של קהילות יהודיות ונוצריות במזרח התיכון המודרני. היא בת שלושת אלפים שנה, אך היום, הרבה מהניבים שלה נמצאים בסיכון מיידי.
    בסרטון הזה, שרה מספרת סיפור עם על חברים שהעדיפו את הכסף מהחיים. סיפורים כאלו בארמית סופרו בלילות החשוכים במשך דורות רבים. היום, המסורת הזאת הולכת ונעלמת.
    הכירו את שרה. הכירו ארמית חדשה.
    סיפורים נוספים ומידע על דיאלקטים רבים של ארמית חדשה נמצאים באתר של אוניברסיטת קיימברידג׳:

      I met & befriended many Assyrians during my time in Los Angeles studying. Large community there. I wish some leaders of Assyrian community would organize some sort of organisation to document such people in Israel and their language. They are dying of very quickly and there probably only 10,000 or less left. Please go there and preserve this as it is both our culture and yours and once its lost its lost forever, to all of us. Most Assyrians don't even realize that thousands of such Aramaic speakers still exist in Israel.

      @@mv.112 yes Aramaic was used widely within the region and had many dialects. Jesus would have spoken Galilean Aramaic and Hebrew which even in Judea would have differed from the dialects spoke in the Judean desert or from the Coastal regions. Jerusalem probably was a mix of the entire Levant as the population was believed to be a million. Next year Jerusalem will set a milestone and reach the population it had in the 2nd temple era !

      @Collin Nazareth The Romans called it Iudaea, it became Syria Palaestina after the Bar Kokhba revolt, which was about 100 years after Jesus's crucifixion.
      No native would have called it "Palestine" unless they were of Greek origin.
      It's either Israel (ארץ ישראל), Judea (יהודה), or Canaan (כנען).
      The name פלשתינה only comes after the Romans force that name on them, changing it from Iudaea. Even then, Jews did not like to refer to it by that name, as it was insulting to them.
