Aramaic held a sacred role as the language of the **Old Testament**, and Jesus himself spoke Aramaic, as did many early Christians. The significance of Aramaic is evident in its direct connection to many **biblical passages** and its usage in the **Gospels**.
Aramaic's script and sound remain an important cultural marker, uniting the **Hebrew and Arabic** traditions while preserving its own unique beauty.
