thanks diddlina ;D

nano.....is she really aramean? does she call herself "aramiye" or "siryaniye" ?........both are correct terms......careful, she may be "armaniye" which is different

aramaic sounds like its in between arabic and hebrew but its older that both and it also has several dialects. many words but not all are similar to arabic and hebrew. here are some examples...
arabic - salam
hebrew - shalom
aramaic - shlomo

arabic - sub7an allah
aramaic - shub7olo alloho

arabic - jazar (carrot )
aramaic - gazro

arabic - qalb (heart)
aramaic - lebo

anyway no i am not 3asabiye at all or majnone hahahahaha(dawoneetho in aramaic = majnoone.......daywono for a guy...majnoon ya3ni)

learn french for sure. any language helps......and because i speak english and french i am able to understand a lot of spanish even though i only studied it for about 9 weeks like 10 years ago.

uh-oh diddlina.......you don't know what you got yourself into........i can't answer where I am from in a simple way. this is going to be complicated so get ready......

I'm writing from America....technically I'm not arab, I'm Aramean.....not Armenian....sometimes people get these two groups mixed up. We are semites too, just like Arabs and Hebrews, and are the original ancient inhabitants of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and parts of Turkey and Jordan before the Arab invasion. ... ;D

Hey is that the same as Syriaan ( not syrian) I've never heard of the term armean

hii i am a guest , u guys really got my attention, wow some ppl just are living in their homes and some the world seems to be their home, i am really intrested in ur story D wow, i never heard about aramean, wow u explained it very well, well for me i am from lebanon and live in canada , but D i have a small question is there muslim aramean or jewish, or they are only christian
thanks

in arabic the arameans are sometimes called "siryan" (arameans or syriacs) which is different than "sooreeyeen" (anyone from the country syria) although the words obviously have a related origin. but this is a really complicated story that i wont get into.

areameans/syriacs/"siryan" (all these terms are correct). made up much of the population of syria, lebanon, palestine and parts of iraq, jordan and turkey. there were other groups of related people in the area, such as the jews, but they spoke aramaic too. aramaic was almost as wide spread as arabic today. in fact aramiac script is the farthest reaching alphabet (though it took different forms) and it was all done without war or force. it was used in ancient egypt at certain points, it is written all over the walls of petra in jordan, arabic derived from it so it went wherever arabic went, it went into europe and took several forms there, the persians used it for their official script, it went into india and turned into sanskrit, and then the indian buddhists took it into china. they have eve found walls in china that have chinese written next to aramaic!

anyway, so all these people lived in the countries I mentioned above and they were all christian. when the arabs came, some people converted and some didn't. conversion, by the way, was a very slow process and happened for various reasons (social, religious, economic, political,etc. depending on the person or family). in syria it took about 500 years for muslims to finally make up a 51% majority. those who converted became part of the larger muslim "umma" and so they married in with other muslim in the area, such as arabs, or persians or turks others who moved into the mid east. the ones who stayed christian pretty much stayed to themselves, since they can only marry within the church, and stayed aramean, though they of course assimilated into the new arab culture (to varying degrees depending on where they lived)as well. anyway, the arabs were related to them (genetically and culturally) and there was interaction between the 2 groups even before islam. so the arameans of today are only christians. however, most muslims of the area probably have aramean blood, but there is no way to trace it because of the intermarrying with other groups.
