: : "Assyr-Aramaic" or "Aramaic-Assyr"?
: xxx I see nothing wrong with calling the language Syriac, with different dialects (Eastern & Western). Do you?
+++ Sadie, don't haggle with ME ...
1) You did NOT answer the original question in any way
2) You are trying to make an undercover deal with me: Personally I wouldn't call this primitive mumbo-jambo of todaqy's Syriac/neo-Aramaic/neo-Assyrian a languaga at all.
+++ It's dying. Bye-bye.
+++ But I love Aramaic/Syriac:
It brought down the Assyrian empire.
Not as God's rod, but as God's tongue.
Intermittently some physical pressure was needed to wipe out that self-cultish Assyrian regime.
