They lost their language the moment they adopted Aramaic during in the 8th Century BCE. Largely due to the mass deportation and assimilation of Aramaean tribes in the Assyrian Empire. Which obtruded linguistic influences onto the Akkadian language, which is precisely why Syriac (Assyrian and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic), have an Akkadian adstratum. Names such as Naram-Sin, Sargon, Shamshi-Adad are all Akkadian in origin. I discovered these audio recording of scholars speaking the Akkadian dialects of Assyrian and Babylonian on this one Anthropology website. So much for the assertion the we speak the language of JAYSUS!
