I always thought Arameic was completely dead as well, but I recently read or heard something about a contemporary decendent of Aramaic. I believe it was in a series called 'The Origins of Christianity", a DVD boxed set with a bunch of talking heads with various credentials concerning the subject matter alluded to in the title. It was well worth the hours spent watching it, holding in awareness the fact it was mereley opinions of people with many types of letters abreviating ranks in "expertise" from different veins of authority, be it a church, temple, oracademic institution (secular or otherwise)... all of whom were immenently more qualified than I in discussing the potential factuality or mythos surrounding the life of Jesus and the rise of his following>church.
