Paul, Paul, you wasted quite a bit of time describing a dialect of aramaic. You see, you are quite the educated man, but in the big umbrella of things, this language called syriac, never came into being or evolve until around the late 3rd century. I know, I know, that is dramatically wrong in "your" book completely, I know that you would just have all of these different ways to try and prove that it was there before that but, we have these learned men who we rely upon for their documented education backgrounds, these men are called scholars, these men are raised up by GOD for a reason, and the majority of them, throughout the centuries, would go about disagreeing with you completely.
Again, I know, I know,.... this is not what you want to hear nor do you want your fans here to understand, but it is true and has been documented. This syriac language is not, again not, considered true aramaic and has roots in the language only, not in the writings of the Apostles themselves.
I know, I know, it would seem that they, being the converted Jews that they were, would have spread their writings throughout mankind in a form of semitic language, but alas, we (that being us Born-again Christians) such as they, have this being called GOD who made such decisions for us on how HE wanted such things and there has not been anything to prove different to the fact that HE witnesses to.
Also, we (again us Born-again Christians) have this inner decision maker living within called The Holy Spirit who goes about leading us along the path that GOD, along with HIS Son Jesus, desires us to follow when we accept HIS will that HE desires for us to follow.
You see, history is at fault here because it can not document those decisions that GOD makes unless HE Himself documents it in HIS word. What we can do is take a step back and look at the current amount of history available to gain an insight as to what HE was doing throughout the process. What we find is that HE appears to have left any sort of racial culturistic background behind HIM when HE had HIS Apostles jump into the gentile regions. All the material points to the greek as being the language that HE decided to utilize in the outlay of HIS word to the regions. I guess you could say that when He said it was finished on the cross, He included quite a bit more in that phrase than we expected.
Letters to greek churchs, yep, in greek. To think different seems to call attention to the ignorance of the obvious.
Again, I know, I know, this is not acceptable to you since you have a vested interest into proving that HIS Apostles wrote HIS words in syriac, literally no matter what it takes, but I would caution that approach, as it is haphazard, at best, to your health.
