Eastern Aramaic
Eastern Aramaic is a branch of the Aramaic language, which originated in the ancient Near East. It is primarily spoken by communities in regions such as Iraq, Syria, and Iran. This dialect has historical significance, as it was used in various religious texts and is still spoken by some Assyrian and Chaldean groups today.
The language has evolved over centuries, influenced by surrounding cultures and languages. Eastern Aramaic includes several dialects, with Sureth being one of the most prominent. Despite its decline in everyday use, efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize this important linguistic heritage.
