The Aramaic in the Book of Daniel has two purposes: The Aramaic provided a perfect chiasm to the parallel Hebrew portions of the text; and. The Aramaic is special divine revelation to the Gentiles, who spoke Aramaic. First, there are two chiasms in the Book of Daniel: one in Aramaic and one in Hebrew. Both sets of chiasms appear to be parallel ...
Hebrew stopped being spoken and written after the Exile. Aramaic became the lingua franca. Later replaced by Greek. Ezra's copyists transferred the Hebrew content of the OT to newer manuscripts with Aramaic script! But everyone spoke Aramaic, not Hebrew! Torah was recopied during Ezra's time using a different script.
I am looking for a transcription of the Aramaic Lord's Prayer (Abun d'Bashmaya, Mt. 6:9-15) into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), for aiding correct pronunciation.

Aramaic and Hebrew are from the same language family, almost identical. The original Paleo Hebrew alphabet is almost identical to Greek - same language family. And Paleo Hebrew is much older than the Hebrew we have today. So, there you have it. Do your research on languages.
The Aramaic text used in crafting the AENT is the most original autograph that modern scholars have encountered. This is important as most popular English New Testaments come from Greek translations originally converted from Hebrew and Aramaic texts. Simply put, most New Testaments are a translation of a translation.
Interestingly, if one examines Aramaic, which uses the same alphabet, an extremely similar word does exist. That being nephilin. Guess what it means in Aramaic? Giant. It would seem plausible that the Hebrews borrowed the Aramaic word and changed the "n" to an "m" at the end. There are several Hebrew and ancient language scholars who argue for ...
We know Jesus spoke Aramaic.In the Diaspora, the earliest Jewish inhabitants of Alexandria in the fourth century B.C.E., to judge from the papyri, spoke Aramaic; but so thorough going was the victory of the Greek over the Hebrew language that after the third century B.C.E., with the exception of the Nash Papyrus, until 400 C.E., all papyri from ...
A more precise explanation for nephilim is that it is an Aramaic term, a language very similar to Hebrew that uses the same alphabet. In Aramaic the noun naphil does exist, but it does not mean “fall,” it means “giant.” It is no wonder then that the LXX (the Greek version of the Hebrew Bible) translates nephilim as gigantes—“giants.”
Another answer inferred that the actual word spoken by Jesus might have been the Aramaic word shlm, based on how the Peshitta translated the Greek text. A different conclusion might be reached by looking where τετέλεσται is used in the Septuagint, which corresponds with the Aramaic word gemǎr, meaning be complete, perfected, finished.
