Our dear Amin seems to be unaware that Syriac is no more than Aramaic

The two are separate languages...

No they are not it is like old Arabic v. middle Arabic and modern Arabic

although Aramaic is parent of Arabic and Syriac.

Hello: Syriac is no more than middle Aramaic and it is the language of Jesus and it is still spoken to this day by many Iraqi Christians as well as Syrian and Lebanese Chrisitians
