 | | These are the Syriac language (or to use a better term, Syriac dialect because Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic and not a language on its own) of the Christians, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and Mandaean, the language of the Mandaean Gnostic sect. | | | Hebrew was revived as a spoken language to provide a lingua franca for Jews who moved to Palestine in the late 19th century. | | | The West Aramaic languages include Nabataean, Palmyrene, Aramaic of Hatra, Jewish Palestine Aramaic (or Galilean Aramaic), Samaritan Aramaic and Christian Palestine Aramaic (Palestinian Syriac). |

| | Also legislating official languages will not remove the issue from Eritrean politics, on the contrary, it will bring in the issue to the forefront and openly divide Eritreans along religious lines, as the supporters of official languages could remain to be largely Muslims and the opponents could remain to be largely Christians. | | | Also, it is hard to know the position of the silent Eritrean Muslims on the issue of the languages, but since favoring Tigrigna and Arabic has been largely regarded as politically correct view among the Muslims and among very few Christians, I don't believe the view of the silent Muslims can be any different. | | | The opponents of Arabic are bigots because they have been brainwashed by Ethiopia to hate Arabs and their language. |
