Similarities Between Assyrian Aramaic and Hebrew
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 гру 2018
- In today’s episode, we’ll be comparing some of the similarities between two Semitic languages, Hebrew and Aramaic, with Berta and Sidorie (Assyrian Neo-Aramaic speakers) and Hila and Noa (Hebrew speakers from Israel) challenging each other with a list of words and sentences. Hebrew and Aramaic have many similarities, which Hebrew being a Northwest Semitic language and the only living Canaanite language left in world, while Neo-Aramaic consists of several languages which are varieties of Aramaic. Among these, the Northeastern Neo-Aramaic and Central Neo-Aramaic dialects are spoken primarily, but not exclusively, by ethnic Assyrians, who are native to Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. Assyrians are among the Christian minorities in the Middle East, being members of the Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church (Eastern Rite Catholics), Syriac Orthodox Church, Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Pentecostal Church and Assyrian Evangelical Church. Ancient Hebrew went extinct as a spoken language many centuries ago. However, it survived as a liturgical language for Judaism thanks to Jewish liturgy, rabbinic literature, intra-Jewish commerce, and other texts. For this reason, Hebrew is now considered the only truly successful example of a revived dead language. In the 19th century, it was revived as a spoken and literary language. Hebrew became the lingua franca of Palestine's Jews, and subsequently the official language of the State of Israel. After Israel, the United States has the second largest Hebrew-speaking population in the world.

My apologies for the few typos in the video. I would like to take a minute to address them.
In the video the words nefesh (נפש) and sakhah (שחה) were read, but I had written נְשָׁמָה and לשחות
as I had multiple terms. "len" (ܠܢ) in the first Assyrian Aramaic sentence is a vernacular contraction and should be spelt (ܠܐ ܝܘܢ). "reshakh" (ܪܫܟ̣) has a silent feminine yod at the end, so should be spelt (ܪܫܟ̣ܝ). Also, just to note, the word "shna" (ܫܢܐ) is the absolute state of the feminine noun meaning year - and that's more a feature of Biblical Aramaic and Classical Syriac. In modern Assyrian absolute state is only used in fossilized vocabulary borrowed from Classical Syriac, so it's practically never used. So in almost all cases, the emphatic state which is "sheta" (ܫܢ̄ܬܐ) in the singular, and "shinne" (ܫܢ̈ܐ) in the plural are used. - Розваги
My apologies for a couple of typos in the video. The words nefesh (נפש) and sakhah (שחה) were read, but I had written נְשָׁמָה and לשחות, as I had multiple terms on the paper. I made mistake when I was editing. In addition to that, "len" (ܠܢ) in the first Assyrian Aramaic sentence is a vernacular contraction and should be spelt (ܠܐ ܝܘܢ).

Can you please bring Eritrean Tigrigna with Hebrew.
@Roberto I could be able to help you roberto I am an archaeologist.
your sound quality is terrible, there is a disturbing echo, put a mic next to their mouth
you should right the meaning, so others with sister languages get something out of it
Is sad that they don't know the history of Aramaic language, and Hebrew language, the Aramaic comes from Aram sumeria and Sumerian is ancient Babylon, Avraham and his wife was from Aram and they spoke Aramaic not Hebrew , but the Aramaic was based in the pagan religion, then the descendants Hebrew Israelites made the Hebrew by using the Aramaic alphabet and used Aramaic words in the mix as Ha the) Mashiack anointed ) they are both Aramaic and Hebrew but in the Hebrew language is mixed, as Latin is a mixed of Greek and Latin but still Latin Language , Syrian Aramaic is a different Aramaic and dialect. Please folks for deep truth and more also follow subscribe my UA-cam channel.
@@literaturesurvey8837 the sound quality is fine, I think you either have hearing problems or most likely really terrible speakers
Hebrew and Assyrian Aramaic is two very ancient languages. You guys should be very proud that these languages are still alive and spoken by millions of people until today. Shlama/Shalom from Sweden!
@lobsterbale Legesse Well, I wouldn´t say corrupted but simply mutated as any language does, the term used in linguistics and diachronic philology being actually 'evolve'. Languages mutate over time and across regions even synchronically, i.e. within the same time span! However, I do agree that sometimes languages lose precious structures without getting other ones which may play the same function as the ones lost, contrary to what is usually taught in linguistics, cause I have known of many cases in which the loss hasn´t been replaced. Also, the borrowing of words from non-related languages complicate a lot the study of the evolution of words in the language history as well as undermines the comparison with their cognates in the sister languages of the same linguistic tree, not to mention that the native word thus replaced tends to get lost for good, a cultural loss for that language itself! Then there is also the problem of vulgar or swear words, which tend to 'smirch' words which were deemed regular and totally inoffensive prior to their misuse as swear words, often ruining words which may even be phonetically beautiful but which then are thought of as disgusting and forbidden.
@@joalexsg9741 ha, yeah. Very true on the last part. In modern Hebrew the word "Gamár" (Finished) started to mean "reached orgasm" or "cummed" so people stopped using it and instead started using "Siyém"
lobsterbale Legesse And I can say English is corrupted because I just read the tales of Caunterbury... Languages are dynamic, even Arabs don't really prounounce all of their emphatics except when reading prompted scripts on the news.
@@tFighterPilot Oh my Hebrew has become so rusty after decades without using it that whatever I had learnt back in the 80's must now be retrieved with hard work, sigh. I didn´t know about this specific word, it´s so said, isn´t it? Gamár is so euphonic, it´s not the siyém is not soft nor pleasant but gamar has something lofty and ancient about it. Todah rabah for the lovely (and quite educational) cultural bit! It´s so said that misconceived patriarchal ideas about sex have come to affect so many aspects of our lives, in the case of Islamic fundamentalism it has utterly devastating effects but of course other forms of patriarchal values are not exactly inoffensive either, adding more horrors still to vulgarity, which express an already warped and toxic view of the world itself.
@@joalexsg9741 I'd assume this usage isn't new, given that in Eskimo Limon (which came out in 78 and takes place in the 50s) there's a character called "Stella HaMegameret"

Interestingly enough we study Aramaic because the Talmud is written mostly in Aramaic. Well one of them that is. There are two Talmud’s one called the Jerusalem Talmud which was written in Hebrew and the other is called the Babylonian Talmud which was mostly written in Aramaic. Many of our prayers are actually written in Aramaic.
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,” declares the LORD Almighty.
isaiah 17:3
Being a Christian Israeli Arab myself, speaking both Arabic and Hebrew fluently. Knowing both ancient and modern hebrew and some assyrian aramaic from church. I have got to say that the similarities between these languages are incredible especially hebrew and aramaic. Yet the jewish girls had a problem knowing the Hebrew meaning of words that for me were so obvious. The reason is that in modern day Israel the widely spoken dialect is that of jews from european descent in which the pronounciation of some letters change from the original way hebrew was spoken, which in turn leads to the percieving of the interchangable letters between languages becomming less intuitive. The sephardic girl probably speaks wih the same accent/dialect. But she must have heard relatives speak the language a bit differently. you can see how the Ashkenazi girl was less able or at least slower, in identifying the words.
Great video guys!
Keep up the good work man!
Greetings to my jewish and Aramaic brothers.
In this opportunity also, Merry Christmas to all!
M John actually modern Hebrew IS based on the Sephardic dialect and pronunciation, although many Israelis no longer differentiate between ע and א and between כ and ח. The classic Ashkenazi pronunciation is probably not something you have heard before, unless you’ve been in an Ashkenazi synagogue. For instance ת is pronounced with an “s” sound (להתגדל is pronounced l’hisgadel).
From Wikipedia: “While the pronunciation of Modern Hebrew is based on Sephardi Hebrew, the pronunciation has been affected by the immigrant communities that have settled in Israel in the past century and there has been a general coalescing of speech patterns. The pharyngeal [ħ] for the phoneme chet (Hebrew: ח) of Sephardi Hebrew has merged into [χ] which Sephardi Hebrew only used for fricative chaf (Hebrew: כ). The pronunciation of the phoneme ayin (Hebrew: ע), has merged with the pronunciation of aleph (Hebrew: א) which is either [ʔ] or unrealized [∅] and has come to dominate Modern Hebrew; in many variations of liturgical Sephardi Hebrew, it is [ʕ], a voiced pharyngeal fricative. The letter vav (Hebrew: ו) is realized as [v], which is standard for both Ashkenazi and most variations of Sephardi Hebrew. The Jews of Iraq, Aleppo, Yemen and some parts of North Africa pronounced vav as [w]. Yemenite Jews, during their liturgical readings in the synagogues, will still make use of the older pronunciation of this Hebrew letter. The pronunciation of the letter resh (Hebrew: ר) has also largely shifted from Sephardi [r] to either [ɣ] or [ʁ].”
@@user-nz7ti9ch9p The emphasis was lost because of the surounding languages in Europe and the fact that hebrew wasn't used as an everyday language ,only for the reading of the bible, in the end of the 19th sentury Hebrew was reserected by one man and got new words because there was no words like: bear phone TV ice cream doul and other, all the years of language evolution happened mostly in 10 years.
@al-Haifawi No, the hebrew language was resurrected in the start of the 1948 because Jews came back to Israel in 1880s.
Also, are you an idiot? Ashkenazi Jews are real Jews genetically proven they are not fucking Khazars they don't have Turkic DNA! also what is your pronunciation has to do with your fucking ethnicity or religion? one ethnic group can have many different dialects of their language and accents like the Italians the Spanish the English, lets say we will separate one ethnic group between to very different cultures for 2000 years and see if they stay the same?why are only Ashkenazi Jews not real Jews? is that because they are white?
I would say Modern Hebrew as daily spoken been totally kidnap and rape from classic Hebrew. the dialect is absolutely been dominate by sephardic/mezrachi. M John wish you Happy new year.
@@ynwadpaggy8157 Thank you, but I wouldnt say so
I just played this for my Assyrian mum and she was in tears of happiness. Some names from her village near Urmia: Shmoovil (Shmuel), Rapka (Rebecca), M'nasseh (Manasseh), Ephrayim (Ephraim), Maryam (Miriam), Ablakham (Abraham), Dahvid (David).

A video on the similarities between Aramaic of the Talmud and Assyrian Aramaic would be super interesting for people who study the Talmud
I speak the syrian arabic dialect which has a very strong Assyrien aramaic influence and as a syrian arabic speaker I could understand 90% of the words that are presented in this episode either in hebrew or in aramaic. I feel happy I don't know why. Maybe this remindes me of the deep connection we have for thousands of years together and how ancient and related are the languages we speak in this very ancient region.
You understand more because they speak the west aramaic language (Syriac) in Syria,Libanon, Turkey . The east aramaic language speak mostly assyrian, chaldean from Iraq,
@@SirElinatoryes true! the Syriac Syrian Christians speak a dialect of Aramaic too, and theirs Syrian Arabs who just speak Arabic with the Aramaic influences!
We are all Semitic cousins, a big family ! I wish peace and love for all middle eastern brothers and sisters, together we are one family and strong !
As someone who study the Jewish Talmud (which is in both Aramaic and Hebrew) I knew most of the words and it is interesting to mention that most Jews used to speak Aramaic as the the main language just before and through the beginning of the “Galut” (going exiled) religious Jews know a lot of Aramaic and we actually still use it in our every day prayer, for me to hear the “living” version of it with a young voice is really special! Thanks!
Two of the most ancient languages. Amazing to see their similarities
yep so proud to be semitic
@perakole Agree.they have so old history and they are so strong ppl.
No one could defeat the Greek ,only economy can defeat the Greek
@perakole who says? Did you lived during the ancient times?
Hebrew language appeared in 1000BC Greek appeared 1500BC While Aramaic appeared in 1800BC. Try research it
What about Caucasian languages?
Even though I was aware of the similarities and origin of the languages, this video surprised me in the best way and made me smile through out the entire time, this video is much more than a language comparison, I hope you're aware of it's greatness!
Much love from a Moroccan jew❤️
Hello
absolutely amazing! Thank you! I'm an Assyrian and I got really happy when I saw this and other videos showing our similarities in language with our neighbor countries.
Finally, thanks!
The Sephardic lady had a hard time distinguishing כ from ח, a sound modern Israelis and Ashkenazi do not distinguish but Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews do, as well as speakers of all living Semitic languages. That is what took them so long to identify the word for "angel", and they confused it with the word for "salt". The Ashkenazi lady jokingly asked about Malawah, a doughy dish named in Yemenite Arabic, unaware that Aramaic is closer to Hebrew than Arabic.
If their ear got used to the sounds of Assyrian pronunciation, they would sooner tell the meaning of Aramaic words.
Perhaps religious Jews, familiar with some Aramaic preserved in prayers and religious texts, would understand even fluent conversational Aramaic.
I am an urdu speaker and I got these three words faster then these ladies .... shama, nefesh or nafas and malakha and in arabic malak or malyka
Angel is Malakha in Assyrian
Salt is Melkha in Assyrian
And One girl actually said king, which would be pronounced Malka in Assyrian
@@pauliewalnuts2007 King in Hebrew is pronounced Melekh and Queen is Malka.
@@YehudaLion interesting. In Assyrian Queen is Malekta
so king and queen means Malka ou Malekta
If they ask Arabic speaker to pronounce the Hebrew words, it will be easier for the Aramaic speaking ladies to know the meaning.

as a religious Jew, we have a lot of books in Aramaic like the Talmud
It's a bit different though. The Talmud was written in 6th century Babylonian Judeo-Aramaic, while the Assyrian Christians speak a language current for the 21st century called Syriac. These are like two completely different languages, but the root is the same.
Babylonian Judeo-Aramaic had about 40% of its vocabulary being Hebrew loanwords, in addition to the plethora of cognates already existing between the two languages. Syriac, on the other hand, has many Greek loanwords, while the modern vernacular variant has many Kurdish and Arabic loanwords as well.
Either way, modern Aramaic is quite easy to understand if you learned the Gemara's Aramaic. It's still very similar.
Actually neo Aramaic has very few Kurdish and Arabic words.We use many of them but we knew also the true Aramaic variants aswell.Also I don’t like how people say neo Aramaic because the language changed but every language changed especially in a span of over 2000 years.Most English speakers don’t even understand a English text that it’s written 300 years ago and we understand many texts from over 2000 years ago.
@Golden Crown I have a question. If it is true what you are saying, why would they choose Palestine? Palestine/Israel have no resources or anything special, the only important thing would be Jerusalem the most holy city in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Hello
The alphabet part was amazing I never knew we shared the same alphabet as our Jewish cousins
unironically modern hebrew uses a variation of ancient aramic alphabet combined with some old hebrew alphabet(im talking about the symbols) and most are more similar to the aramaic counterpart
If I’m not mistaken the Hebrew alphabet of today is influenced by Aramaic script. The modern hebrew script is sometimes called כתב אשורי/Ashurit script (Ashur being Assyria in hebrew). Old Hebrew (paleo-Hebrew) is closer to Canaanite scripts.
Omg thank you so much I have asked for this for ages. It’s so cool that you actually like, heard me haha. I’m Assyrian and just want to say thank you for allowing our language to be heard, you are absolutely amazing.
hey your girls are so so gorgeous :D
Amazing! Long live the Assyrian and Jewish peoples!
You mean hebrew. Jewish is a religious affiliation, not an ethnic group. Most of modern Jews are mixed
No jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion. It’s only confusing because they share the same name. Not all Jews practice Judaism. For example, I’m Jewish but I don’t believe in God. The only people where this does not (or applies to a much lesser degree) are Yemenite, Ethiopian and Indian Jews. This has been studied at length.
I'm an American who LOVES language. I have a great admiration for people who speak more than one language. I can read and write Biblical Hebrew. I love seeing these sessions. Great job!

perhaps hebrew doesnt have some special charm like those above but it has its own uniqueness,its the third most ancient language still spoken today after mandarin and tamil it was the main language of the bible and it is extremley similiar to an extinct legendery languages like pheonician and cnaanite and the second most closest language to ancient egyptian after coptic
So Thank you very much for choosing to learn our language :)
Nice video! As a Assyrian greetings from Mardin/Turkey.

Do you have to spoil this with your political hateful BS? Give it a break buddy.
Syria is from where Aramaic was born out of ! Sadly , your country didn't preserve it.

And funny is that western people think ALLAH SWT is not in their englush bible so ALLAH SWT is not the GOD of musa, isa and ibrahim A.S... they think gospel was revealed in English...irony
@A M a lot of the words are similar indeed. By the way, in Hebrew we also use NESHAMA for soul and NESHIMA for the act of breathing. Do you have similar usage in Arabic?
@@israteeg752
The root of Semitic languages is one.
As Arabic speaker I understood most of the words
@@israteeg752 we have the verb shamma from or nahno nashom for the we proboun which means the act of of smelling, we use the word Nashme to describe someone as brave or good like and it used in Hebrew similar to this..like הוא בחור נשמה ...נכון?
Aramaic and Hebrew are from the same family,
That's the point of the video
Lashon Ashuri
edit
The mention of Lashon Ashuri, or Assyrian, is mentioned twice in the treatise of Megillah, in Megillah 17a: 9 and Megilla 18a: 23, where the rabbi exchanges Ashuri with Hebrew. Hebrew is also referred to as Lashon Hakodesh, or Sacred Language. Sharing an Ashuri with Hebrew evokes an understanding that Ashuri, Hebrew, and Lashon Khakodesh are one and the same language.
Ktav Ashuri
edit
Ktav Ashuri (Hebrew: כְּתָב אַשּׁוּרִי, Ktav Ashuri), or Assyrian script, is a traditional calligraphic form of the alphabet, divided between Hebrew and Aramaic. For several centuries, some decorations were simplified or removed for use outside traditional religious calligraphy to become the modern printed form of the Hebrew alphabet that is closest to it.
The mention of the Ashur letter first appears in the rabbinic writings of the period of the Mishnah and the Talmud, referring to the formal script used in some Jewish ceremonial subjects, such as the sifrey Torah, tefillin and mezuzot. [1] Also sometimes referred to as “square” type, this term is used to distinguish the Ashura alphabet from the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet.
The Talmud gives two opinions about why the script is called “Ashuri”: either because the Jews brought it with them when they returned from exile in Assyria, [2] or, alternatively, this script was given in Sinai, and then forgotten. and ultimately restored and got its name, because it is a “meusheret” (beautiful / meritorious or empowered). [3]
Yes. Aramaic was first then the Jewish religious leaders modified it, and Hebrew was born. Was only used as the language of religion, was not really spoken. Even the written form was way different.
Hebrew is a Canaanite language and together with Aramaic they form the Northern-west Semitic group.
😀😀I know these people are funny.
These are so joyous! Thank you for making the world a little bit smaller.
wow as an Arabic speaker; i felt as though i was there with them playing along and nearly all of the words spoken had a very clear cognates in Arabic. Sometimes we forget how similar and closely related all semetic languages are; and the fact that we are a lot more similar then what we realise.
I'm again proud of you Bahador. God bless you ✌
this is why im proud to be a ASSYRIAN. WE we are 2.5 million people that speaks this beautiful GOD spoken language called ARAMIAC.
👏🏼
Very interesting and thank you for that information it is awe inspiring to hear Aramaic as a living language alongside Hebrew which I do not know except for some words but can recognise. We are all Abrahams children and like any family Muslims Christians and Jews are Betty when we are united rather than fighting.🙋🐫💛

I am Colombian of Lebanese ancestry and I love Aramaic. I wish it were still spoken in Lebanon. We need to revive this language.
Germain Martel It is possible! Same as it's sister, the Hebrew language, was revived!
It´s still spoken in different dialects by the Assyrian-Chaldean Christian communities worldwide and in Maloula, Syria! Aramaic has never been dead and even the beautiful Galilean Aramaic is already being revived in northern Israel in Jish in Israel and in Beit Jala:
An excerpt from this article by Asya Pereltsvaig from 2014:
"... Recently, two Christian Arab communities in the Holy Land-one in the town of Jish in northern Israel and the other in Beit Jala in the West Bank (see map on the left)-started to teach Aramaic in their elementary schools. The Arab Israeli village of Jish is nestled in the Galilean hills near the Lebanese border and is believed to be the hometown of St. Peter’s parents. ..." In

Lebanese will hopefully recover their Assyrian roots one day. Lebnanaye Suryoyena. Hope Lebanon continues to survive
@Moonless Night Well, most of the Levantine Aramaic which once were the regional languages in the Levant have unfortunately died, except for the ones preserved by the Assyrian Christian communities (and the one in Malulah, spoken by both Christians and Muslims in that city). However, as I mentioned, the Galilean Aramaic has fortunately been revived but not by the Christian Maronite communities in Samaria, as I had read, cause, from what I got in other news, it seems they are learning the variety spoken by the Assyrian community of Sweden, who are teaching them via a tv channel.
An excerpt from the PDF where the info was taken from:
" ... The new focus on the region’s dominant language 2,000 years ago comes with a little help from
modern technology: an Aramaic-speaking television channel from Sweden, of all places, where a
vibrant immigrant community has kept the ancient tongue alive.
In the Palestinian village of Beit Jala, an older generation of Aramaic speakers is trying to share
the language with their grandchildren. Beit Jala lies next to Bethlehem, where the New
Testament says Jesus was born. And in the Arab-Israeli village of Jish, nestled in the Galilean hills
where Jesus lived and preached, elementary school children are now being instructed in
Aramaic. The children belong mostly to the Maronite Christian community. Maronites still chant
their liturgy in Aramaic but few understand the prayers. “We want to speak the language that
Jesus spoke,” said Carla Hadad, a 10-year-old Jish girl who frequently waved her arms to answer
questions in Aramaic from school teacher Mona Issa during a recent lesson. “We used to speak it
a long time ago,” she added, referring to her ancestors.

We love to see less known languages like Aramaic. Berber and Coptic are two very great languages that are not known to many people!
wow it would be awesome to have coptic on this channel
I'm berber and I'm sad my language has been reduced to nothing because of Arabs!
People think north Africans speak Arabic or are Arabs. We are not regardless of what the self hating fake Arabs say.
I have never heard coptic language what a fantastic idea.
Thanks.
@@rses916 azul
Coptic is in the Egyptian branch of the Afro-asiatic, as for Berber it is in the Berber branch and both are quite different than the Semitic ones. one more problem is that there are many languages of Tamazight, and the distance between some of them is large to the point that communication is impossible, so he would have to chose a single language out of a dozen.

The Talmud is written in Aramaic so I understood many words
me to isn't it cool
It's also written in Hebrew.
@@roen6800 בגמרא אין עברית אלא אם מדובר בציטוטים מהמשנה.
To be more precise, the Talmud contains two aspects of the Torah’s oral tradition: Mishnah, written in Hebrew, is the collection of secondary Torah laws meant to be studied repetitiously, and Gemara, written in Aramaic, is a commentary on those laws. The commentary was based on of Rabbinical study and discussions which contained analyses, arguments and exegesis on the Torah. The discussions of the Gemara took place and were written down at a time after the Jewish return from the Babylonian exile and therefore used the Aramaic language the Jews had adopted as their daily language when they were in Babylon.
@@shlomohadar3194 Not exactly correct because the Gemara also quotes from the Baraitot which are also in Hebrew as well as the Tanach. We must also distinguish between the various types of dialects because Mishnaic Hebrew isn't precisely the same as Biblical/Ancient Hebrew, and there are even differences between the dialects of Aramaic used in the Gemara.

Their recital of the alphabet was super cool! It was the same because they both still use the names of Phoenician alphabet's letters. I knew Hebrew did but didn't realize Aramaic too
